## Summary

The Ministry of Justice has awarded a contract for the review of child contact centres to Cordis Bright Limited. The procurement method used was selective where the contract value is 107,675 GBP. The contract began on August 29, 2022, and will end on March 3, 2023. The tender was located in various regions across the UK and falls under the services industry category.

This tender offers opportunities for businesses in the research services sector interested in safeguarding arrangements for child contact centres, especially those with expertise in domestic abuse issues. The Ministry of Justice aims to improve safeguarding processes through this contract, making it suitable for businesses with experience in conducting research and providing recommendations for change in safeguarding practices.

## Notice

In order to meet the requirements of the Domestic Abuse Bill, we need new research to understand the extent to which those using contact centres in England, are protected from the risk of domestic abuse or, in the case of children, other harm. Given the likely value of the contract we anticipate that appointing a contractor via the LVPS is the best approach to delivering this work. The research will provide an overview of the current safeguarding arrangements of child contact centres and an assessment of whether current processes adequately protect those at risk of domestic abuse and harm. The report will also provide recommendations for change, should this be appropriate. Further, it will provide information on the non-accredited child contact provision, which is currently lacking. This will provide useful evidence on whether or not there is a need for a statutory obligation for contact centres to be accredited.
