## Summary

The Police and Crime Commissioner for North Wales is seeking to award contracts for Independent Domestic Violence Advisory (IDVA) Services across six local authorities in North Wales, including Wrexham, Flintshire, Denbighshire, Conwy, Gwynedd, and Anglesey. This contracting process is currently in the Award stage, with contracts valued at £540,000 awarded to Grwp Cynefin and Domestic Abuse Safety Unit North Wales Ltd. The contract period is set to commence on 1st April 2020 and will run until 31st March 2025. The procurement method used for this tender was an open procedure, specifically aimed at enhancing services related to health and social work.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in domestic violence support services, specifically those offering guidance, counselling, and community health services. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in welfare services, particularly organisations focused on the needs of individuals experiencing domestic abuse, would be well-positioned to compete in this market. Given the widespread geographical coverage and diverse client needs, businesses capable of providing tailored and effective support in response to domestic violence will find ample opportunity for growth and engagement in these contracts.

## Notice

The North Wales Violence Women, Domestic Abuse and Sexual Violence (VAWDASV) Strategic Board, together with the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner for North Wales, Supporting People and the Area Planning Board, are looking to tender for three sub-regional Independent Domestic Violence Advisory (IDVA) services. The services will cover the 6 Local Authorities, Wrexham and Flintshire, Denbighshire and Conwy and Gwynedd and Anglesey. IDVAs work to address the safety of all people at high risk of domestic violence and abuse from intimate partners, ex-partners and family members to secure their safety and the safety of their children. The service works with men and women. Operating as the primary point of contact, IDVAs typically work with their clients from the point of crisis to assess the risk, review options, and develop and implement plans to address their immediate safety, as well as longer-term solutions. These plans will include actions from the Multi Agency Risk Assessment Conference (MARAC) as well as sanctions and remedies available through the criminal and civil courts, housing options and services available through other organisations. Although the service will not work directly with children under the age of 16, it will make referrals to safeguard children at risk of harm and ensure appropriate signposting to specialist support services. The service will be available for all clients affected by domestic abuse, regardless of gender, sexuality, ethnicity or disability.
