## Summary

The procurement process titled "Victim Services for Cumbria" is being conducted by the Cumbria Constabulary - Office of the Police & Crime Commissioner. This process falls under the industry category of health and social work services, with specific classification in adult and other education services, among others. The procurement method employed is selective, following a negotiated procedure. Key dates include the contract period that spans from 1st May 2019 to 31st March 2022, with a tender period that ended on 30th October 2018. The estimated contract value is £3,000,000, and the minimum value is £2,000,000, with the main delivery locations in England, particularly in Cumbria (postal code CA10 2AU).

This tender presents valuable opportunities for businesses focused on providing health, social support, and advocacy services, particularly those offering victim support and counselling solutions. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community sector organisations (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, given the nature of the contract, which seeks innovative proposals tailored to the needs of individuals affected by crime and abuse. Successful bidders will contribute to developing vital services in the local community, positioning themselves as key providers in the social care landscape.

## Notice

The Commissioner is working with funding partners Cumbria County Council, Cumbria Constabulary, NHS England and local District Councils, amongst other agencies, to develop the support available for people who have been affected by crime and abuse. The overarching objectives of this work are to help keep people safe, prevent re-victimisation, enable them to cope with the immediate impact of a crime or abuse and to recover from the longer-term legacy of the experience. The successful Bidder will be required to provide the Service which includes the individual assessment of needs and risk for people affected by crime and some types of abuse, as well as provision of emotional and practical support; support with the criminal justice process and advocacy, including IDVA and ISVA support. The Service will also provide a 'pathway' to accessing services which people affected by crime and abuse need, minimising the number of individuals and agencies they have contact with before finding the right support and reducing the need to repeat their story. The Commissioner and funding partners have set out in this IFB document their key requirements for the Service and welcome innovative, appropriate proposals from interested parties to enable them to develop a service which best meets the needs of those affected by crime in Cumbria and which is feasible within the context of the current local services, partnership structures and the resources available.
