This procurement falls within the social work and related services industry category, focusing on providing support for individuals aged 13 and over affected by sexual and domestic violence. The tender period is set to close on 25th June 2015, with the contract anticipated to commence on 1st December 2015, lasting for 40 months, with a possible extension of 24 months. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in social services, psychological support, and community outreach. Companies that can provide comprehensive helpline services and face-to-face support, as well as therapeutic interventions and advocacy, would be particularly well-suited to compete. The collaborative nature of the contract suggests a preference for consortium models, allowing various organisations to pool resources and expertise to deliver a robust service to a vulnerable population. ## Notice Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland Councils have been commissioning specialist domestic and/or sexual violence services for a number of years. The current provisions come to an end in November 2015. The Office of the Police & Crime Commissioner for Leicestershire (OPCC) also has a commitment to commission support services for those affected by sexual and domestic violence across Leicester, Leicestershire & Rutland from October 2015. This presents an opportunity to work together to make the most of the resource collectively available and to share learning from previous contract management, stakeholder engagement and service user feedback. The respective organisations have made a commitment to work together to align shared interests and pool a degree of resource to better meet local need. Leicester City Council working with Leicestershire County Council, Rutland County Council and the Police & Crime Commissioner for Leicestershire therefore invites Tenders for the provision of Sexual and Domestic Violence Services. The parties wish to commission an information and support service(s) for those aged 13 and over affected by sexual and domestic violence that works across Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland. This would encompass the following core activities: Helpline service Face to face support Support for third parties (friends, family members, colleagues) Information on options available, including for those concerned about own behaviour or local practitioners Safety planning and risk assessment (Safe Lives, DASH) Support planning, key working and support co-ordination Advocacy Individual and group support Appropriate therapeutic support Attendance at MARAC and Specialist Domestic Violence Court Neighbourhood profile/ networking Gendered provision New Service Model The new service model needs to realise a consistent and co-ordinated offer of care across our sub-region. It will provide highly skilled engagement and support options for those who have been affected by sexual and domestic violence and complement the wider co-ordinated community response. The service will focus on improving safety, health, wellbeing, and reducing risk. The proposed Contract will be for 40 months with an option to extend for up to 24 months. It is the Council's belief that the model best suited to delivery will be a Consortium or Main Contractor with Sub-Contractors, however the Council will consider any model that is proposed to deliver the Services outlined in the Specification.
