As part of this open procurement process, the Commissioner plans to award two lots: Lot 1 focuses on Victim First services, while Lot 2 pertains to Target Hardening services. The tender period is set to conclude on 12 February 2018, and the contract period will run from 1 July 2018 to 30 June 2023. The procurement process is classified within the categories of community services, security fittings, and civic betterment, with a total estimated value of £1.2 million. This tender presents substantial business opportunities for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that specialise in victim support services, security enhancements, or community outreach. Companies well-versed in restorative justice and those providing home security solutions would particularly benefit from this contract, as it seeks to expand the community presence and awareness of victim support services, thereby fostering growth and collaboration within the local community. ## Notice Victim First and Target Hardening Services Becoming a victim or indeed witness of crime or high level anti-social behaviour can have a significant physical, emotional and financial impact. The Leicestershire Police and Crime Commissioner is seeking to award 2 lots in relation to the support of victims and witnesses (hereafter referred to as "victims" for brevity) of crime in Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland (LLR). Lot 1 - Victim First. Whilst police officers are able to give some support to victims as part of their broader role, specialist support is required to fully enable victims to cope and recover from the impact that the crime has had on them. The Victim First service is intended to be the primary service across LLR that provides this cope and recovery support (including restorative justice) to enable victims to move on positively with their lives. The service will be based within the community, providing cope and recovery services throughout the victim journey (from reporting of crime through to any court appearances, restorative justice and release of offender). Victim First has been in existence since October 2015 and has established itself as a strong brand across LLR. The provider of the Victim First service will continue to use the Victim First brand and will be expected to grow its presence, awareness and reputation across LLR. This service (Victim First (2018)) will build on the existing service with expansion of provision to young people, increasing access to support and a greater community presence across LLR. The service is being commissioned by the Leicestershire Police and Crime Commissioner who is, in part, making use of Victims Grant funding from the Ministry of Justice. The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) are currently consulting on the potential of devolving further specialist victim services (such as the court based witness service). This contract is being set up in such a way that, should these further services be devolved within the life of this contract, they can be added to this contract by way of a mutually developed/agreed contract variation. Lot 2 - Target Hardening The Leicestershire Police and Crime Commissioner is commissioning a Victim First service (Lot 1) and currently co-commissions with local authorities an information and support service for victims of sexual and/or domestic abuse/violence. The Target Hardening service will exclusively receive referrals from these two victim support services to provide a home security service to victims of crime living in LLR. The service will, in a timely manner, undertake home security checks and advice as well as providing and fitting (where fitting is required) products which will enhance the security of the home. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/949b944a-0d13-45c7-b915-85ba7d969c3e | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 3 Jan 2018 | | Submission deadline | 12 Feb 2018 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 30 Jun 2018 - 30 Jun 2023 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £1,200,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | LEICESTERSHIRE POLICE | | Locality | LEICESTERSHIRE | | Post town | Leicester | | Postcode | LE19 2BX | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLF East Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLF2 Leicestershire, Rutland and Northamptonshire | | ITL 3 | TLF22 Leicestershire CC and Rutland | | Local authority | Blaby | | Electoral ward | Enderby | | Westminster constituency | South Leicestershire | | Delivery location | TLF East Midlands (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 35 - Security, fire-fighting, police and defence equipment - 75 - Administration, defence and social security services - 98 - Other community, social and personal services ### Codes - 35121300 - Security fittings - 75200000 - Provision of services to the community - 98000000 - Other community, social and personal services - 98133100 - Civic betterment and community facility support services ## Release History - 3 Jan 2018 at 23:30 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/949b944a-0d13-45c7-b915-85ba7d969c3e ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/949b944a-0d13-45c7-b915-85ba7d969c3e 3rd January 2018 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://uk.eu-supply.com/app/rfq/rwlentrance_s.asp?PID=21169&B=BLUELIGHT Additional data - https://uk.eu-supply.com/ctm/Company/CompanyInformation/Index/30501 User / Company ## Notice URLs - http://www.leics.police.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
