The procurement stage is currently active, with a tender deadline of September 18, 2023. The contract period is set to start on November 1, 2023, and end on March 31, 2025. The opportunity is open for all interested parties, with a contract value of GBP 500,000. Businesses must comply with the service requirements outlined in ITT Document 2 to be considered for the Provider Panel. This tender by Durham County Council presents an opportunity for SMEs and VCSEs to engage in the delivery of specialist services targeting minoritised groups. Businesses in the health and social work services sector, particularly those focusing on domestic abuse services, are well-suited to compete. The contract allows for a potential extension of up to 2 periods of 12 months each, subject to approval and funding availability, offering stability for successful bidders to contribute meaningfully to the service delivery. ## Notice This opportunity is for a Provider Panel for Domestic Abuse By and For Services. Domestic Abuse By and For Services are specialist services for minoritised groups whose services are designed and delivered by people that share the same protected characteristic/s as the people they aim to serve. As a minimum any organisation that provides a By and For Service should ensure that the front-line staff (those that are service user facing and actually provide the service) are from the minoritised group that they serve. In addition there must be clear and meaningful representation and leadership from person/persons from the minoritised group in terms of the service design and management. The Provider Panel is to be made of multiple providers (on a non-exclusive basis). Further details regarding the service requirements may be found in ITT Document 2, Service Specification. There are no restrictions to the number of Providers who may be members of the Provider Panel, only that they meet all the requirements of this Invitation to Tender and Service Specification. The Council reserves the right to allow any additional Bidder(s) to apply to join the Provider Panel at a future date at the Council's sole discretion provided that they fully meet the essential criteria contained in this tender. The proposed contract is to be let with an option to extend for a further 2 period of 12 months from the actual end date, subject to funding, budget and commissioner approval.
