This procurement falls under the health services category and has been initiated as an open procedure. The tender period concludes on 26th November 2019, with the contract anticipated to start on 1st February 2020 and run for a duration of two years until 31st January 2022. Interested providers must have the capability to deliver proactive support and must be accredited in the Male Survivor Quality Standards. This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in health and social care, particularly those that provide support services for individuals affected by sexual violence. Companies with experience in recruiting and training male support workers and those familiar with the requirements for Enhanced DBS clearance would be well-suited to compete. The emphasis on increasing awareness and helping male survivors indicates a demand for innovative solutions and community engagement that can lead to significant business growth in this sector. ## Notice NHS England South East seeks expressions of interest from providers who have the capability to provide a male ISVA Support Worker to drive up awareness of support for male survivors of rape and sexual abuse in Hampshire and deliver Independent Sexual Violence Advisor (ISVA) services to males across Hampshire. The worker employed by the successful provider is expected to already have/gain accreditation in the Male Survivor Quality Standards through accreditation with LimeCulture. The successful provider will work with Hampshire County Council's contracted manager of ISVA services, Yellow Door. The service will promote and increase the number of male survivors coming forward to seek help and support an existing ISVA provider to deliver a pro-active service to males who have experienced rape or sexual abuse through risk assessment and safety planning; enabling them to access statutory and other services they need and ensuring they are kept informed and supported as their case progresses through the criminal justice system, if that is the route they choose. Key aspects of the service are identified in the eProcurement portal. It is envisaged that this contract will be delivered by one, full-time, male ISVA Support Worker with Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) clearance. It is anticipated that the contract will start on 1st February 2020 and run for a period of two years through to 31st January 2022. This procurement is being carried out by NHS South, Central and West Commissioning Support Unit (SCW) on behalf of the Commissioners.
