This service falls under the health and social work category and will be delivered in the North West region of the United Kingdom. The tender is currently in the active phase of procurement, following an open procedure. Interested parties must submit their proposals by 29 January 2018, and the resultant contract is scheduled to commence on 2 July 2018, lasting until 1 July 2023. Applicants are encouraged to explore partnership opportunities to enhance their submissions and align effectively with existing local services. This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in health and social care, particularly those with experience in trauma support, counselling, and guidance services. Organisations that can demonstrate innovative service delivery models or effective collaboration with local agencies will be well-positioned to compete. This contract represents an important avenue for growth within a socially impactful sector, making it suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) aiming to expand their service offerings and community impact. ## Notice The Deputy Mayor for Policing and Crime (DMPC) of the Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA) seeks to appoint an Independent Provider to deliver aftercare services for victims and survivors of rape and sexual assault. The aim of the service will be to support victims and survivors (and in some cases families too), to cope and recover after their ordeal, which may have been a recent attack or historic abuse. This will be an all age service to support to both male and female victims and survivors, irrespective of whether they wish to pursue a criminal justice outcome. The service will need to link with both the existing provider of forensic and crisis provision, which is based at the St Mary's Centre at Manchester Royal Infirmary, and also establish excellent links with local provision including early help hubs, the new victim assessment and referral service within GMP and also local support agencies such as mental health, housing or social care provision. It is intended that the new service will shape itself to allow for best fit with the way in which the new victim and assessment referral service is being delivered locally, the new local policing model and local multi-agency safeguarding arrangements. This is an opportunity for applicants to submit innovative and creative proposals, and the successful bid will be expected to demonstrate both this ambition and identify ways in which integration with these local arrangements will be secured. The Ministry of Justice outlines 8 categories of need, against which the service outcomes will be measured and providers will be expected to demonstrate how they measure their service against these outcomes. GMCA acknowledges that an individual organisation may not have the necessary skills and experience to deliver all services required under this contract, and that a number of interested parties may wish to consider working in partnership to submit a single bid. Proposals for partnership working are encouraged and each case will be considered on its specific risks and merits during the evaluation process. Full details of the Service Specification are available along with the Invitation to Tender on the Bluelight e-tendering portal (www.bluelight.gov.uk). The contract value stated is the current best estimate for value over a 5 year contract. This service falls under the "light touch regime" as set out in regulations 74-76 (inclusive) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. Pursuant to regulation 76(7), the Authority will conduct a competitive procedure akin to the Open Procedure, but this is not taken as acceptance by the Authority that any part of the PCR 2015 apply, other than those parts which apply to the light touch regime. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e25ee6d0-fcf6-4d56-8dbe-69d1bbd69bda | | 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 | 10 Dec 2017 | | Submission deadline | 29 Jan 2018 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 1 Jul 2018 - 1 Jul 2023 | | 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 | GREATER MANCHESTER COMBINED AUTHORITY - GREATER MANCHESTER POLICE | | Locality | MANCHESTER | | Post town | Manchester | | Postcode | M1 6EU | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD3 Greater Manchester | | ITL 3 | TLD33 Manchester | | Local authority | Manchester | | Electoral ward | Deansgate | | Westminster constituency | Manchester Central | | Delivery location | TLD North West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 80 - Education and training services - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 80500000 - Training services - 85000000 - Health and social work services - 85312300 - Guidance and counselling services - 85312310 - Guidance services - 85312320 - Counselling services ## Release History - 10 Dec 2017 at 17:00 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e25ee6d0-fcf6-4d56-8dbe-69d1bbd69bda ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e25ee6d0-fcf6-4d56-8dbe-69d1bbd69bda 10th December 2017 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://uk.eu-supply.com/app/rfq/rwlentrance_s.asp?PID=22586&B=BLUELIGHT Additional data - https://uk.eu-supply.com/ctm/Company/CompanyInformation/Index/35572 User / Company ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
