The service is set to commence on 1st October 2022 and will operate within the health and social work services sector. An online market engagement event is scheduled for 18th February 2022 from 2pm to 4pm, providing potential bidders with vital information regarding the service specification and procurement process. Interested vendors must register by 16th February 2022. The budget for this project is approximately £3.6 million over a contract term of three years, reflecting a collaborative approach with Greater Manchester Police. This procurement opportunity is particularly suited for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that specialise in providing support services relevant to victims of crime. The engagement event will facilitate connections between potential suppliers and the Greater Manchester Combined Authority, enabling businesses to showcase their innovative solutions and approaches in delivering victim support services. Companies with expertise in areas such as emotional support, digital solutions for victim empowerment, and partnerships in the criminal justice sector would greatly benefit from this opportunity, potentially enhancing their service delivery and expanding their market reach. ## Notice The Greater Manchester Deputy Mayor for policing seeks to commission the Greater Manchester Victim Service, a service to help and support people impacted by crime to cope and recover from their experience. This service will be available to all victims of crime, regardless of whether the crime has been reported to the Police or not. The intended contract commencement date is 1st October 2022. Victim's needs, wishes and feelings will be at the heart of service delivery. The service will provide information, advice, guidance, signposting and one to one support to victims of crime as well as make onward referrals to specialist agencies such as domestic abuse, hate crime and sexual abuse. We are also keen to develop our vision for digital innovation to ensure that victims have access to the information and support they need at the right time and are empowered in their journey to recover from the impact of crime. The new service will be a 'Hybrid Model' and be collocated with colleagues from Greater Manchester Police. This model of collaboration is an integral part of the future of Greater Manchester Victim Services so it is important that the future providers can actively support this principle, particularly their approach to working in partnership with other providers operating within the criminal justice arena. The Deputy Mayor is planning on holding an online market engagement event on the 18th February 2022 at 2pm to 4pm. This event will take place via Microsoft Teams and there will be an opportunity to book 1-2-1 sessions for individual suppliers during the week commencing 21st February 2022. The aim of the market engagement day will be to outline the Combined Authority's aspiration for the new service and to provide potential bidders with an outline of the service specification. It will also be an opportunity to answer any questions in relation to the requirement and procurement process, before the formal tender is launched.
