This planning stage will see engagement end on 22nd March 2019, leading to a market engagement event on 25th March 2019, which will be held at The Chambers, Barking Town Hall, IG11 7LU. The service will integrate health and social work services, aiming to address the complex needs of victims and their children by applying a gender and trauma-informed approach. This procurement presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in health and social work services, particularly those with experience in domestic violence support, advocacy, and therapeutic services for children and young people. Companies that are adept at collaborative working with local authorities and other service providers will find this tender especially relevant, as the council is seeking to remodel and integrate its existing services in response to pressing community needs. Interested organisations are encouraged to confirm their attendance at the market engagement event by the specified deadline to ensure they can actively participate in shaping this vital service provision. ## Notice The London Borough of Barking and Dagenham (LBBD) during 2019 will be procuring its Domestic and Sexual Violence Service currently delivered separately as Refuge Accommodation Provision & Independent Domestic and Sexual Advocacy (IDSVA) Service. This comes at an exciting time when the council has put forward its intention to bring together a specific Domestic Abuse Commission that will look to better understand the high levels of acceptance and normalisation of abusive behaviours as reported within our young population. As set out within the Barking and Dagenham Ending Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) Strategy, the service will take a gender and trauma-informed approach, ensuring that the wider health and wellbeing support needs of victims and their children is joined up and effective across the whole journey from early help seeking through crisis intervention, connection and re-empowerment. There will also be an approach to disrupt and challenge people using abusive behaviours and support them to change their behaviour where appropriate and safe to do so, and there will be a focus on therapeutic approaches to children and young people. The Council intend to remodel the current service to provide a new domestic and sexual violence service. The new service will be expected to join up with a number of council led services such as community solutions, children's care and support and adults care and support. The Council invites suitably qualified service providers to attend a market engagement event where it will present its aspiration for the provision of domestic and sexual violence services in the borough and to have a discussion with current and potential providers of these services from all sectors. The event will be held between 10:30am and 1:00pm on Monday 25th March 2019 at The Chambers, Barking Town Hall Barking, IG11 7LU. Organisations interested in attending the event should confirm their attendance by emailing Adebimpe.winjobi@elevateeastlondon.co.uk. latest by 10:00am Friday 22nd March 2019. Please note that spaces are limited, and organisations are asked to send no more than two (2) representatives to the event.
