## Summary

The Tameside Metropolitan Borough Council is seeking providers for the "Women & Their Families Service" project, which focuses on supporting women and their families dealing with issues such as domestic abuse, mental health challenges, and substance misuse. This open tender, classified under social services (CPV code 85320000), has a total value of £497,850, with the tender period ending on 31 January 2018. The contract is set to commence on 1 October 2018 and will run until 30 September 2023. The service will be located in the North West of England, where the council aims to provide assistance, safety planning, and referrals to other agencies for vulnerable women and their families.

This procurement presents a significant opportunity for businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), to contribute to important social services. Companies that offer expertise in domestic abuse support, mental health services, or drug and alcohol counselling are well-suited to compete for this contract. Furthermore, organisations equipped to provide integral support structures, such as crèche facilities for children, may also find this tender aligns with their service offerings, ultimately fostering business growth while addressing pressing community needs.

## Notice

The Core Service elements of the Service are: - Provision of advice and support to women - in 1:1 and groups. - Risk assessment & safety planning for women & their families. - Assistance to overcome issues related to women & their families. - Referral & assistance to engage with other relevant agencies - Where appropriate, provide creche facilities which allow women with children to ensure care for their children aged 5 years and under, whilst they are utilising this Service.
