This procurement is currently in the Tender stage, with the closing date for submissions set for 27th September 2019. The contract, which is classified under health and social work services, is expected to commence on 1st April 2020 and will run until 31st March 2025. The procurement process follows an open method, allowing for wider participation by interested bidders. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in domestic violence support services, social work, and counselling. Companies that can provide innovative solutions addressing the safety of individuals at risk of domestic violence, regardless of gender or background, are encouraged to participate. As the contract involves collaboration with various agencies, firms with experience in multi-agency partnerships and holistic support services will be particularly well-suited for this opportunity. This initiative not only aims to enhance community safety but also offers organisations a platform to grow and expand their service provisions in North Wales. ## 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. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1f033ded-8fcd-4e80-a21f-ebdd6f9d0dba | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 3 Aug 2019 | | Submission deadline | 27 Sep 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Mar 2020 - 31 Mar 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 | POLICE AND CRIME COMMISSIONER FOR NORTH WALES POLICE & NORTH WALES POLICE | | Locality | COLWYN BAY, NORTH WALES | | Post town | Llandudno | | Postcode | LL29 8AW | | Country | Wales | | ITL 1 | TLL Wales | | ITL 2 | TLL3 North Wales | | ITL 3 | TLL33 Conwy and Denbighshire | | Local authority | Conwy | | Electoral ward | Glyn | | Westminster constituency | Clwyd North | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85000000 - Health and social work services - 85312300 - Guidance and counselling services - 85312310 - Guidance services - 85312400 - Welfare services not delivered through residential institutions - 85323000 - Community health services ## Release History - 3 Aug 2019 at 11:31 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1f033ded-8fcd-4e80-a21f-ebdd6f9d0dba ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1f033ded-8fcd-4e80-a21f-ebdd6f9d0dba 3rd August 2019 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://uk.eu-supply.com/app/rfq/rwlentrance_s.asp?PID=29514&B=BLUELIGHT Additional data - https://uk.eu-supply.com/ctm/Company/CompanyInformation/Index/33183 User / Company ## Notice URLs - http://www.north-wales.police.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
