Authorities must ensure that support commissioned under this duty is provided to victims of domestic abuse, including their children, who reside in relevant safe accommodation as described in section (section A3) of this guidance. The 2021 guidance also sets out definitions of Supported Accommodation. The guidance limits support to accommodation-based support and does not include other support which may be provided to victims of domestic abuse for example in community-based locations. * Refuge accommodation - a refuge offers accommodation and intensive support which is tied to that accommodation. Victims, including their children, have to be refuge residents to access expert emotional and practical support. * Specialist safe accommodation - safe accommodation which provides dedicated specialist support to victims with relevant protected characteristics and/or complex needs (also known as 'by and for'), such as specialist refuges for BAME, LGBT, and disabled victims and their children * Dispersed accommodation - Safe (secure and dedicated to supporting victims of domestic abuse), self-contained accommodation with the same level of specialist domestic abuse support as provided within a refuge but which may be more suitable for victims who are unable to stay in a refuge with communal spaces due to complex support needs or for families with teenage sons for example. * Safe (secure and dedicated to supporting victims of domestic abuse), self-contained 'semi-independent' accommodation which is not within a refuge but with support for victims who may not require the intensive support offered through refuge, but are still at risk of abuse from their perpetrator/s. * Sanctuary Schemes properties with local authority installed Sanctuary Schemes or other similar schemes which provide enhanced physical security measures within a home. A Sanctuary Scheme is a survivor centred initiative which aims to make it possible for victims of domestic abuse to remain in their own homes, where it is safe for ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0a8e902e-f0bd-4f33-851e-5b58b950f7cd | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 20 Oct 2023 | | Submission deadline | 17 Nov 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 7 Feb 2024 - 31 Mar 2027 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | 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 | WESTMORLAND AND FURNESS COUNCIL | | Locality | KENDAL | | Post town | Lancaster | | Postcode | LA9 4DQ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD1 Cumbria | | ITL 3 | TLD14 Westmorland and Furness | | Local authority | Westmorland and Furness | | Electoral ward | Kendal Strickland and Fell | | Westminster constituency | Westmorland and Lonsdale | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85000000 - Health and social work services ## Release History - 20 Oct 2023 at 14:06 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0a8e902e-f0bd-4f33-851e-5b58b950f7cd ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0a8e902e-f0bd-4f33-851e-5b58b950f7cd 20th October 2023 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=e6dcd303-4f6f-ee11-8124-005056b64545 Advert ## Notice URLs - https://www.westmorlandandfurness.gov.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
