## Summary

The Joint Procurement Service for Surrey and Sussex Police is conducting a tender for an impact evaluation of the Violence Reduction Partnership funded interventions, which falls under the industry category of research and development services. The procurement is currently in the Award stage, with an active contract awarded to BearingPoint Ltd, valued at £42,100. The contract period is set to commence on 1st September 2021 and is expected to conclude on 31st May 2022. This project is significant within the South East region of the United Kingdom, specifically addressing serious violence reduction initiatives through a core Steering Group and local spoke areas in Sussex.

This tender represents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in evaluation consultancy and research services, particularly those that engage with community interventions and social research. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations would be well-suited to compete, as the project emphasises innovative evaluation methodologies and community-focused strategies. By participating in this procurement process, companies can not only contribute to impactful social initiatives but also expand their portfolios in the public sector, enhancing their visibility and engagement with local authorities and communities.

## Notice

The Sussex Violence Reduction Partnership (VRP) is one of 18 Home Office funded units across England and Wales, which were launched in 2019. The Sussex VRP operates as a 'Hub and Spoke' model, with a spoke VRP in each area of Sussex (East, West and Brighton and Hove) and a hub provided through a core Steering Group. Each spoke area is provided with funding to enable the local commissioning of interventions and projects that seek to prevent and reduce serious violence. This funding is used to facilitate a range of projects across Sussex, which are a mix of interventions with young people in schools, colleges and through detached youth work, mentoring and training for professionals and parents and more intensive work with families, communities and young people involved in serious violence. Evaluation is a mandatory element of the grant funding to all VRUs, and this year the Home Office has stated that it expects all VRUs to spend 10% of the total amount allocated to interventions on its evaluation. This baseline evaluation spend requirement is designed to ensure that the VRU is undertaking sufficient evaluation activity to actively contribute to what is known about 'what works' in tackling serious violence. As a hub and spoke model the Sussex VRP has been asked to evaluate an intervention from each spoke area.
