## Summary

The Sefton Council has awarded a contract for domestic abuse accommodation and support for women with complex needs. The procurement process was completed on 2024-05-07. The tender had a value of GBP 480,000, falling under the Health and social work services category. The contract period runs from 2024-08-01 to 2026-07-31. The buying organisation is Sefton Council based in Bootle, United Kingdom. The procurement method used was an open procedure.

This tender represents an opportunity for SMEs and organisations in the health and social work services sector to provide trauma-informed services for women affected by domestic abuse. Businesses well-suited to compete in this tender would need to focus on person-centred care and have expertise in addressing complex needs related to domestic abuse. With the main procurement category as services, potential suppliers should align their offerings with the goal of enhancing the current provision of domestic abuse support services in Sefton.

## Notice

The recommendations within Sefton's Domestic Abuse Needs Assessment regarding accommodation included: * The safe accommodation offer in Sefton should be improved. Bed & Breakfast should not be used to house those affected by domestic abuse. * Pathways and mechanisms into specialist domestic abuse services should be reviewed. * Using Council of Europe calculation with minimum recommendation of one space per 10,000 population, this equates to 28 refuge spaces for Sefton. Whilst Sefton already had a Complex Women's Service, this is within Homeless Services and does not specifically address domestic abuse. Sefton is looking to commission a Provider who can provide a person-centred, trauma-informed service specifically for women who have experience domestic abuse. The service will complement the Integrated Domestic Abuse Service and the Domestic Abuse Refuge.
