For context, in this financial year to date we have received 2600 contacts where DA is listed as the prime concern. The next biggest concern is listed as 'Parenting support', 860 contacts. DA outstrips the next biggest reason we are involved with children by over three times. In reality, this is a minimisation, once we begin to work with families DA often reveals itself as a significant concern that was not the original reason for referral. We know that children who experience parenting within the context of domestically abusive relationship can go on to model these behaviours in their own relationships later in life. Current Domestic Abuse (DA) provision in Sefton has evolved historically and has the potential to be disjointed and based on risk. The needs assessment that was commissioned to meet our statutory obligations under the DA Act, tells us we have unmet need around: * Reporting of DA in more affluent areas of the borough was less than in areas of deprivation. * Women with complex needs * Older Victims / Survivors * Male Victims We are proposing to procure a fully integrated Community Domestic Abuse service that operates on a network approach, is open to anyone irrespective of their protected characteristic or risk level. This contract will be for the period 1st September 2024 to 31st August 2027, with the option to extend for up to a further 2 x 12-month periods. (at the Council's sole discretion). Bidders will be deemed to understand the processes which the Council is required to follow under domestic legislation (particularly in relation to public procurement rules) where such legislation might apply. For this reason, the Council is bound to follow the procedure in accordance with Section 7 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, also known as the 'Light Touch' Regime under the EU Procurement Directives. It is the intention of the Council to invite full tenders to be submitted in accordance with these instructions. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/3f7c0b6f-9d27-4a6a-8410-b46a8e5ba094 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (above threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 19 Apr 2024 | | Submission deadline | 17 May 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Aug 2024 - 31 Aug 2027 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £2,500,000 | | 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 | SEFTON COUNCIL | | Locality | BOOTLE | | Post town | Liverpool | | Postcode | L20 3NJ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD7 Merseyside | | ITL 3 | TLD73 Sefton | | Local authority | Sefton | | Electoral ward | Derby | | Westminster constituency | Bootle | | 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 - 98 - Other community, social and personal services ### Codes - 85000000 - Health and social work services - 98000000 - Other community, social and personal services ## Release History - 19 Apr 2024 at 08:30 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/3f7c0b6f-9d27-4a6a-8410-b46a8e5ba094 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/3f7c0b6f-9d27-4a6a-8410-b46a8e5ba094 19th April 2024 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=5b2b1f35-25fe-ee11-812a-005056b64545 Advert ## Notice URLs - http://www.sefton.gov.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
