The tender is currently open, with the submission deadline set for 11th November 2019. The services will span across multiple local authorities including Wrexham, Flintshire, Denbighshire, Conwy, Gwynedd, and Anglesey, and the contract period will commence on 1st April 2020 and is expected to last until 31st March 2025. This procurement process follows an open procedure, aimed at ensuring wide participation. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specializing in guidance and counselling services, welfare services, and community health services. As the successful provider will be working directly with individuals at high risk of domestic violence, organisations with experience in sensitive social support and safety planning will be particularly well-suited to compete. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to apply, leveraging the opportunity to contribute to community safety while potentially growing their client base and operational capacity. ## Notice The North Wales Violence Women, Domestic Abuse and Sexual Violence (VAWDASV) Strategic Board, together with the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner for North Wales, Supporting People and the Area Planning Board, are looking to tender for three sub-regional Independent Domestic Violence Advisory (IDVA) services. The services will cover the 6 Local Authorities, Wrexham and Flintshire, Denbighshire and Conwy and Gwynedd and Anglesey. IDVAs work to address the safety of all people at high risk of domestic violence and abuse from intimate partners, ex-partners and family members to secure their safety and the safety of their children. The service works with men and women. 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. These plans will include actions from the Multi Agency Risk Assessment Conference (MARAC) as well as sanctions and remedies available through the criminal and civil courts, housing options and services available through other organisations. Although the service will not work directly with children under the age of 16, it will make referrals to safeguard children at risk of harm and ensure appropriate signposting to specialist support services. The service will be available for all clients affected by domestic abuse, regardless of gender, sexuality, ethnicity or disability. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7a2c484e-6e2b-43a5-a365-c42504882984 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 11 Oct 2019 | | Submission deadline | 11 Nov 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Mar 2020 - 31 Mar 2025 | | 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 | POLICE AND CRIME COMMISSIONER FOR NORTH WALES POLICE & NORTH WALES POLICE | | Locality | COLWYN BAY, NORTH WALES | | Post town | Llandudno | | Postcode | LL29 8AW | | Country | Wales | | ITL 1 | TLL Wales | | ITL 2 | TLL3 North Wales | | ITL 3 | TLL33 Conwy and Denbighshire | | Local authority | Conwy | | Electoral ward | Glyn | | Westminster constituency | Clwyd North | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85000000 - Health and social work services - 85312300 - Guidance and counselling services - 85312310 - Guidance services - 85312400 - Welfare services not delivered through residential institutions - 85323000 - Community health services ## Release History - 11 Oct 2019 at 07:31 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7a2c484e-6e2b-43a5-a365-c42504882984 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7a2c484e-6e2b-43a5-a365-c42504882984 11th October 2019 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://uk.eu-supply.com/app/rfq/rwlentrance_s.asp?PID=30460&B=BLUELIGHT Additional data - https://uk.eu-supply.com/ctm/Company/CompanyInformation/Index/33183 User / Company ## Notice URLs - http://www.north-wales.police.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
