The procurement process involves identifying a provider to deliver the programme with a proposed budget of £1.45m over a 3-year term. The deadline for grant application submission is 17th February 2023, with a decision expected by 31st March 2023. The contract period is scheduled to start on 12th April 2023. This tender presents opportunities for businesses experienced in training programme services, social work, and community health services. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise organisations (VCSEs) are considered suitable for this procurement. The procurement method used is an open procedure, providing a fair chance for diverse businesses to participate in delivering crucial services to combat domestic abuse in Cheshire. ## Notice This process is to identify a specialist provider to work with the Police and Crime Commissioner for Cheshire (PCC) to undertake two areas of work: 1. Custody Intervention - provide specialist Domestic Abuse support within each of the 3 custody suites, 7 days a week, for as reasonable a period as the funding allows. These workers will support front line police officers in decision making (upskilling) around Domestic Abuse perpetrators. 2. CARA Delivery - provide resources to work with the Hampton Trust to deliver Project CARA across Cheshire as an intervention for domestic abuse offenders, both male and female who have received a Conditional Caution (soon to be Diversionary Caution). The PCC has submitted a grant application to the Home Office to secure funds to deliver this programme in Cheshire. The submission deadline for the application is 17th February 2023. It is expected a decision on the application will be made by 31st March 2023. In the event we are not successful in our grant application for funding, a contract will not be awarded as a result of this procurement process. Due to the sensitive nature of this work, inherent risks working with perpetrators of domestic abuse and the requirement to have appropriately trained and skilled staff available in short timescales, we expect the successful bidder will have some existing links to the Cheshire and North West area. We would also expect they have extensive experience in this area; in safeguarding requirements and will have a proven track record in delivering successful outcomes. The proposed budget for this initial programme (3-year term) is PS1.45m. It is expected that the PCC will be able to put a further grant application into the Home Office for a continuation of the funding after the 3 years. Therefore, a further 3 x 12-month extension periods are available in the total term. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1460961f-f249-4185-84aa-408cf4d01b4e | | 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 | 15 Feb 2023 | | Submission deadline | 20 Mar 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 11 Apr 2023 - 11 Apr 2025 | | 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 | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 80 - Education and training services - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 80000000 - Education and training services - 80521000 - Training programme services - 85000000 - Health and social work services - 85300000 - Social work and related services - 85310000 - Social work services - 85320000 - Social services - 85322000 - Community action programme - 85323000 - Community health services ## Release History - 15 Feb 2023 at 18:11 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1460961f-f249-4185-84aa-408cf4d01b4e ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1460961f-f249-4185-84aa-408cf4d01b4e 15th February 2023 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://uk.eu-supply.com/app/rfq/rwlentrance_s.asp?PID=60245&B=BLUELIGHT Additional data - https://uk.eu-supply.com/ctm/Company/CompanyInformation/Index/33132 User / Company ## Notice URLs - http://www.cheshire.police.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
