This procurement falls under the industry category of research and development consultancy services, specifically focusing on health and social work. The open tender is currently in the planning stage, with submissions due by 16 January 2019. The work will primarily take place in the North West region of the United Kingdom, with the contract expected to commence on 21 January 2019 and run until 31 March 2019. This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses, particularly those specialised in research, social work, and community health services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) would be well-suited to compete, as the PCC is looking for independent proposals that can navigate the complexities of sexual violence care pathways. By engaging in this project, successful bidders can contribute to improving support for sexual violence survivors while also expanding their portfolio in the public sector. Potential applicants should be prepared to conduct comprehensive analyses and facilitate strategic planning initiatives. ## Notice The PCC for Cheshire is inviting research proposals to audit sexual violence in Cheshire, including the various support pathway, needs of sexual violence victims and survivors, and the services available. This work will assist the local partnership to develop a strategic plan to improve care and support for sexual violence survivors in the future. The activity is planned to take place during the winter of 2018/19, and will be supported by the OPCC and the partner agencies that form the membership of the Rape and Serious Sexual Offences group for Cheshire. The intention is to build upon the currently commissioned pathways for SARC and Aftercare to explore further the extent and nature of sexual violence across Cheshire and map the pathways of services people access or need to access as a part of their recovery. The audit will follow the entire pathway of care and support for survivors, including the criminal justice process, to research how far the needs of sexual violence victims are being met. Detailed analysis of police recorded crime figures to ascertain the type, nature and volume of sexual violence in Cheshire, identifying trends and patterns will be required to provide a detailed picture of need and what services are in place, identifying any gaps in provision, so that partners can develop an action plan that will set the future strategic direction for survivor care. It is anticipated that the work will cover Police, Healthcare and Community services. The PCC is seeking a partner to work independently in the progression of this activity. It is essential that individuals and organisations feel free to express opinions without the hindrance of any external influence, but the research will be supported by the OPCC to achieve the intended aims. It would not be deemed independent for any organisation commissioned as part of the current pathway to bid for this work. Funding to a maximum of PS30,000 will be available. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f2b67860-e363-4956-9758-c3e98d605bf7 | | 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 | 19 Dec 2018 | | Submission deadline | 16 Jan 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 21 Jan 2019 - 31 Mar 2019 | | 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 | CHESHIRE CONSTABULARY ON BEHALF OF THE POLICE AND CRIME COMMISSIONER FOR CHESHIRE | | Locality | WINSFORD, CHESHIRE | | Post town | Crewe | | Postcode | CW7 2UA | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD6 Cheshire | | ITL 3 | TLD63 Cheshire West and Chester | | Local authority | Cheshire West and Chester | | Electoral ward | Winsford Over & Verdin | | Westminster constituency | Mid Cheshire | | Delivery location | TLD North West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 73200000 - Research and development consultancy services - 85000000 - Health and social work services - 85323000 - Community health services ## Release History - 19 Dec 2018 at 16:00 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f2b67860-e363-4956-9758-c3e98d605bf7 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f2b67860-e363-4956-9758-c3e98d605bf7 19th December 2018 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://uk.eu-supply.com/app/rfq/rwlentrance_s.asp?PID=26672&B=BLUELIGHT All applications should be made via the Bluelight e-Sourcing portal https://bluelight.eu-supply.com/ under reference 33889 where full details about the opportunity can be accessed.
