This procurement falls under the health and social work services industry category and is located in Huddersfield, England. Currently in the planning stage, the process includes a stakeholder engagement event scheduled for August 9, 2022. Interested parties are encouraged to confirm their attendance by August 5, 2022, to explore collaboration opportunities for the upcoming services. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those specialising in health and social services, including small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). The initiative seeks to strengthen support systems for victims of domestic abuse and their children, inviting providers to propose innovative solutions that encourage collaboration between existing services. Businesses with experience in domestic violence prevention and therapeutic interventions would be well-suited to compete for this contract. ## Notice There are two existing services that need to be recommissioned over the coming months at Kirklees Council: - The Independent Domestic Abuse Advisor contract (community-based services for victims of domestic abuse, coordinating services to address the safety of those considered to be most at risk); and - Therapeutic intervention for children and young people that have been affected by domestic abuse. As part of our statutory duty to support victims of domestic abuse, and their children, in safe accommodation, we are also looking to strengthen therapeutic support for victims of domestic abuse. Given the potential overlap between these commissioned services, and with existing services that fall outside of these arrangements, we wanted to take the opportunity to reflect on how we might undertake a broader commissioning exercise that would enable local services to work together to support victims and children, and encourage behaviour change in those who cause harm. In line with the approach we've agreed in our Domestic Abuse Strategy, we would like to explore opportunities for making it easier for people to navigate the system. With this in mind, we would like to invite you to attend a stakeholder event at 1:00 - 3:00 pm on 9th August 2022 in the Main Hall of the Hudawi Centre, Great Northen Street, Huddersfield HD1 6BG . We want to provide some reassurance at this early stage that any newly commissioned services will be required to work in partnership with existing services that support victims, children and perpetrators affected by domestic abuse. Please indicate whether you will attend this session by email to Jamie Wylde, Jamie.Wylde@kirklees.gov.uk by 5 August 2022. In line with our procurement rules and emphasis on transparency, this session will be available to all potential providers (including those that do not currently deliver domestic abuse specific services in Kirklees). ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a04c628c-a4df-4f0a-af67-e949e14d3cd5 | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 26 Jul 2022 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 5 Aug 2022 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | 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 | Planning | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | KIRKLEES COUNCIL | | Locality | HUDDERSFIELD | | Post town | Huddersfield | | Postcode | HD1 9EL | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | | ITL 2 | TLE4 West Yorkshire | | ITL 3 | TLE44 Calderdale and Kirklees | | Local authority | Kirklees | | Electoral ward | Newsome | | Westminster constituency | Huddersfield | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England), TLH East (England), TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85000000 - Health and social work services ## Release History - 26 Jul 2022 at 11:58 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a04c628c-a4df-4f0a-af67-e949e14d3cd5 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a04c628c-a4df-4f0a-af67-e949e14d3cd5 26th July 2022 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
