Engaging in this tender could enhance reputations while fostering growth in sectors dedicated to civic betterment. ## Notice Rapid evidence reviews undertaken by Merseyside OPCC during 2014 identified that children and young people have often been referred to as the hidden or forgotten victims of domestic violence. In recent years however, recognition that children and young people are impacted upon by domestic violence has spread, and policy and practice has begun to develop accordingly. Operation Encompass has seen Merseyside Police pledge to inform schools the next day if one of their pupils has experienced a domestic incident in their home the night before. The aim is to give schools the information they need in order to look after that child's needs in the aftermath of what may be one of the most distressing things they will ever witness. There is a wealth of information detailing the life course impacts of witnessing or experiencing domestic violence on children and young people. Many children who witness abuse demonstrate significant behavioural and/or emotional problems. The effects depend on the individual child, their age and gender, how much they witness and whether or not they are personally involved in the abuse, their personality and support available to them (Hidden Hurt, 2014). This contract is to provide services to help these young people. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/568d5207-6f9c-4b55-ae3e-14929d1ec766 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 29 Nov 2016 | | Submission deadline | 23 Jan 2017 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 24 Jan 2017 - 25 Jan 2017 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £100,000 | | 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 | MERSEYSIDE POLICE - PROCUREMENT DEPARTMENT | | Locality | LIVERPOOL | | Post town | Liverpool | | Postcode | L1 8JX | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD7 Merseyside | | ITL 3 | TLD72 Liverpool | | Local authority | Liverpool | | Electoral ward | City Centre North | | Westminster constituency | Liverpool Riverside | | Delivery location | TLD North West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 98 - Other community, social and personal services ### Codes - 98133100 - Civic betterment and community facility support services ## Release History - 29 Nov 2016 at 13:55 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/568d5207-6f9c-4b55-ae3e-14929d1ec766 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/568d5207-6f9c-4b55-ae3e-14929d1ec766 29th November 2016 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - http://www.merseyside.police.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
