## Notice

Birmingham City Council requires a supplier for the provision of domestic abuse needs assessment, review strategy and proposed implementation plan. Domestic abuse touches the lives, directly or indirectly, of most people in Birmingham. The sheer scale of it causes untold harm to individuals, children and families, communities and damages the social fabric of the city. Growing up in an abusive environment and living in a constant state of control, abuse and terror has profound consequences on a family's well-being, long into the future. Although domestic abuse can happen to anyone, from any background, most domestic abuse is perpetrated by men against women and their children. Following implementation, Local Authorities will have a statutory duty to convene a Local Domestic Abuse Partnership Board. This Board will have responsibility to: * Undertake a needs assessment * Assess the need and demand for accommodation-based support for all victims and their children, including those who require cross-border support. * Meet the support needs of victims and their children * Develop and publish strategies for the provision of support to cover the locality and diverse groups of victims. * Give effect to strategies by making commissioning / de-commissioning decisions * Monitor and evaluate local delivery * Report back to central Government via annual reports To support Birmingham City Council to meet the statutory requirements of this new Bill as outlined above, we are seeking to commission external consultancy. We would like the work completed within the following timescales: * Draft needs assessment and strategy review by 31July 2021 * Final needs assessment and final strategy refresh / proposed implementation plan by 31 August 2021 The Council will be using its free to use e-tendering system (in-tend) for the administration of this procurement process and potential suppliers must register with the system to be able to express an interest.
