The procurement process, currently in the tender stage, allows for bids from non-statutory sector organisations providing national support to victims of child sexual abuse in England and Wales. The tender period concludes on 28th May 2020, with the intended contract starting on 1st June 2020 and running until 31st March 2022. The total available funding amounts to £1,200,000, and services must cover at least three Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) areas with larger geographical scopes earning higher scores in evaluation. The home office plans to manage its grants through the Jaggaer eSourcing portal. This tender provides significant opportunities for voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations aiming to expand their operations in the area of support for victims of child sexual abuse. Businesses that excel in guidance and counselling services, mental health support, and welfare services would be particularly well-suited to participate. Given the wide-reaching impact and funding potential, organisations are encouraged to leverage their capabilities to deliver tailored support services across various regions, ensuring they can fulfil the diverse needs of victims and survivors. ## Notice The Home Office is seeking to award grant funding to non-statutory sector organisations in England and Wales working nationally to provide support to recent and non-recent victims and survivors of child sexual abuse (CSA). The support available to victims and survivors of child sexual abuse encompasses a wide range of statutory and non-statutory services funded by several different national and local commissioners. Victims and survivors will need different levels of care and different types of support at different times in their lives and this will be dependent on their circumstances, the pace of their recovery and the level of expertise and support received at the point of disclosure, as reflected in the Strategic Direction for Sexual Assault and Abuse Services. There is no 'one-size fits all' approach. CSA support services are primarily commissioned at the local level with local authorities, Clinical Commissioning Groups and Police and Crime Commissioners all playing a fundamental role in commissioning appropriate services. For example, local authorities commission specialist sexual health services, CCGs are responsible for mental health services and PCCs deliver support services for victims of crime. On a national level, NHS-England commission a network of Sexual Assault Referral Centres (SARCs) and the Ministry of Justice funds specialist rape and sexual abuse support services. Through the Support for Victims and Survivors of Child Sexual Abuse (SVSCSA) fund, the Home Office commissions services working at a national level to support victims and survivors of child sexual abuse (funding is provided jointly by the Home Office and the Ministry of Justice). This is in recognition of the fact that organisations providing services over a wide geographical area play an important role in victim support but cannot easily apply to a single local commissioner for funding. Bids to the SVSCSA must cover the two-year period of the fund, and bidders must be able to demonstrate the ability to spend their entire potential award within the financial year for which it is awarded. Funding for Year 2 (2021/22) will be dependent on budget availability and renewal will be conditional on performance against project milestones. The service(s) should be offered over a large geographical area - as a minimum, this must be at least 3 PCC areas, but higher scores will be awarded for proposals covering larger areas.
