This initiative falls under the category of "Other community, social and personal services" and is located in England. The procurement method is selective, following a restricted procedure, with the tender period closing on 23 January 2017. The contract will commence on 1 April 2017 and extend until 31 March 2020. Key documents such as the National Statement of Expectations and the VAWG Transformation Fund Prospectus have been published and are essential for interested parties to review. This tender presents significant opportunities for organisations focused on community development, victim support, and gender-based violence prevention, particularly those collaborating with Police and Crime Commissioners, local authorities, and health commissioners. Businesses that specialise in social services, community health initiatives, and intervention programmes would be particularly well-suited to apply. Engaging in this procurement not only provides funding but also facilitates alignment with national strategies aimed at reforming services for vulnerable populations, allowing successful bidders to expand their impact and reach within communities. ## Notice Protecting women and girls from violence, and supporting victims and survivors, is a key priority of this Government. In March 2016 the Home Office published its 'Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG)' Strategy, setting out an ambitious programme of reform, supported by increased funding of PS80million to make tackling these crimes everybody's business, help reduce their prevalence, and ensure victims and survivors get the support they need. From 2017, this funding will support the launch of a PS15million, three-year VAWG Service Transformation Fund to aid, promote and embed the best local practice and make early intervention and prevention the norm. The fund will support vital, community-based programmes which complement and add to existing services, encouraging better collaboration and joined-up approaches. Applications are welcomed from Police and Crime Commissioners, local authorities and health commissioners, working together and in partnership with specialist VAWG service providers. We have set out a clear blueprint for local action though a new National Statement of Expectations (see attachment). The VAWG Service Transformation Fund is intended to support VAWG programmes and approaches to make a systemic change to local service provision to help deliver against this. The Expression of Interest period is your opportunity to set out the key points of your bid, receive early feedback, and ask any clarification questions. Submitting an Expression of Interest is not mandatory in order to formally apply in the new year, but is recommended. Before submitting your Expression of Interest, please make sure that you have read the VAWG Service Transformation Fund Prospectus (see attachment). Expression of Interest period closes on Monday 23 January 2017. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a6afbfb8-4c26-4ae4-a605-e42c1aa6ed12 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Restricted procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 7 Dec 2016 | | Submission deadline | 23 Jan 2017 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Mar 2017 - 31 Mar 2020 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | 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 | HOME OFFICE | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW1P 4DF | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | Westminster | | Electoral ward | St James's | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 98 - Other community, social and personal services ### Codes - 98000000 - Other community, social and personal services ## Release History - 7 Dec 2016 at 10:31 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a6afbfb8-4c26-4ae4-a605-e42c1aa6ed12 - 7 Dec 2016 at 10:09 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a6afbfb8-4c26-4ae4-a605-e42c1aa6ed12 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a6afbfb8-4c26-4ae4-a605-e42c1aa6ed12 7th December 2016 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/violence-against-women-and-girls-national-statement-of-expectations National Statement of Expectations - https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/violence-against-women-and-girls-service-transformation-fund VAWG Transformation Fund Prospectus ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
