The main objective is to gather insights and engage with prospective providers for upcoming procurement aimed at offering emotional wellbeing support to victims and survivors of domestic abuse across Essex. The market engagement event is scheduled to take place on 11th August 2022, from 13:00 to 15:00, and interested parties must register by 8th August 2022. The relevant industry category pertains to miscellaneous health services, specifically aimed at improving mental and physical health for those affected by domestic abuse. This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses, particularly those experienced in delivering social support services, mentoring, and peer support for vulnerable individuals. Companies that specialise in working with marginalised groups or have expertise in mental health and community engagement will be especially well-suited to participate. By attending the market engagement event, providers will gain valuable insights that can inform their approach in delivering effective emotional wellbeing services, thereby contributing positively to the lives of victims and survivors while expanding their operational footprint in the health services sector. ## Notice Essex County Council would like to invite prospective providers to participate in a market engagement event in preparation for a future procurement opportunity. The procurement is for Emotional Wellbeing Support to victims and survivors of domestic abuse. This includes adults and children, their family members, friends, or someone affected by domestic. The model includes 'social support' rather than therapeutic i.e. delivered through peer support, mentoring and coaching. The service is to be delivered across all areas of Essex. As part of Essex County Council's work to implement our duties under the Domestic Abuse Act 2021, we undertook a needs assessment, highlighting that in nearly half of all victims and survivors, mental health support needs were reported to be present. Therefore, Essex County Council has committed to making emotional wellbeing support available for all victims and survivors of domestic abuse throughout their domestic abuse journey. To do this, we have undertaken a number of exercises in partnership with stakeholders and people with lived experiences of domestic abuse to explore potential models of support for people at early intervention, crisis, and post-recovery stages. The overarching aim of this project is to delivery the following outcomes for all victims and survivors through peer support, mentoring and coaching: * Build the resilience needed to recover from the trauma of domestic abuse and start to rebuild their lives. * Have improved mental and physical health, including improved emotional wellbeing. * Feel better connected to and safe in their communities. * Feel better able to maintain positive relationships and safe exit from unhealthy relationships. Our aim is to reach out to as many communities as possible and would therefore welcome providers with experience and knowledge of working with marginalised groups and those with protected characteristics. We would like to encourage attendance from providers. The market engagement event will be conducted via Teams on Thursday 11th August 13:00 - 15:00. If your organisation would like to attend this event, please e-mail seth.hopkins@essex.gov.uk by 8th August 2022, confirming the number of colleagues who wish to attend and an e-mail address.
