This initiative falls under the social work and related services category and is aimed at delivering an assertive outreach service to support victims of domestic abuse with complex needs. The tender was published on 8th November 2018, and submissions must be submitted by 10th December 2018. The contractual period is set to commence on 1st April 2019 and will last until 31st March 2020, with an estimated contract value of £70,000. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses that specialise in social work, mental health services, and trauma-informed care. Enterprises effectively engaging with vulnerable populations, particularly those addressing issues related to drug and alcohol dependency, mental health, and trauma, would be well-suited to compete. The contract’s focus on enhanced engagement strategies provides potential for SMEs to expand their service offerings in the North East of England, thereby fostering business growth in a crucial area of community support. ## Notice The aim of this contract is to deliver an assertive outreach service for domestic abuse and complex needs and manage a small emergency fund which is to be used to support clients meeting eligibility criteria. Complex needs for victims of Domestic Violence and Abuse (DVA) include drug and alcohol dependency, mental ill health, learning and physical disabilities, trauma symptoms, victims of forced marriage, honour-based abuse and FGM, domestic slavery, trafficking, women whose children are in care (and not comfortable living in refuge alongside women with children). The contractor will be expected to achieve enhanced engagement with victims/survivors based on a needs led, strength based and trauma informed way of working across services in partnership with other providers to meet the individual needs of victims/survivors. The focus will be on engaging victims who are not always high risk but have high complexity (because of historic and prolonged trauma) who place a high demand on services and are often repeat cases. Please note that the tender award will be conditional upon the Council being successful in its bid for additional funding from the Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG).
