This initiative is currently in the planning stage, with an engagement end date set for 4th September 2019. The procurement process is aimed at gathering insights from potential providers to inform future commissioning, with a focus on creating effective service delivery models. Interested parties are encouraged to register for an engagement event that will be held at the Lewisham Civic Suite, Catford Road, London, SE6 4RU. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that specialise in advocacy and support services related to gender-based violence. Companies that can provide expertise in delivering comprehensive, flexible services for victims, as well as those experienced in collaborative approaches with voluntary and statutory agencies, will be well-positioned to compete. Engaging in this process allows businesses to shape future services while enhancing their visibility and influence in the sector. ## Notice Please find below details of an event that may be of interest: VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN AND GIRLS ADVOCACY AND REFUGE SERVICE Overview Lewisham council is carrying out a market and stakeholder engagement exercise to inform our commissioning intentions for a service that supports victims of all forms of gendered based violence (VAWG).
