This open procurement process targets the counselling services industry, covering regions such as Anglesey, Gwynedd, Conwy, Denbighshire, Flintshire, and Wrexham. Interested parties must submit their applications by 13th January 2025, with the contract scheduled to commence on 1st April 2025 and conclude on 31st March 2030. The tender includes four lots, each corresponding to different sub-regional areas within North Wales, and is valued at £1,000,000 GBP for the first year. This tender offers a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in domestic violence support services to expand their operations and partnerships. The emphasis on partnership-working and the consortium approach encourages collaboration among organisations, allowing them to leverage their combined expertise and resources. Businesses with a strong background in providing comprehensive risk management and crisis response services, particularly those familiar with criminal justice systems and victim support, will be well-positioned to compete. The procurement method being open ensures a transparent and competitive bidding process, promoting business growth and innovation within the sector. ## Notice The Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner for North Wales (Commissioners) are welcoming tender applications for the contract of three sub-regional Independent Domestic Violence Advisory (IDVA) services. The Contractor shall provide a single IDVA Service across the North Wales Force area. The IDVAs shall work to address the safety of people at high risk of domestic abuse from intimate partners, ex-partners and family members to secure their safety and the safety of their children. Operating as the primary point of contact, IDVAs typically work with their clients from the point of crisis to assess the risk, review options, and develop and implement plans to address their immediate safety, as well as longer-term solutions. The service will increase safety and reduce the long-term impact to victims, improve outcomes and adopt a whole family approach to risk management by working in partnership with relevant organisations. We have an expectation of a high level of partnership-working and welcome a consortium approach to project delivery. If a consortium bid is submitted, one provider must function as a lead contractor, and they will be accountable for all elements of delivery, monitoring and funding.
