This initiative seeks to award grant funding to relevant law enforcement agencies across England and Wales to enhance support systems for adult victims of modern slavery, thereby facilitating their engagement with the Criminal Justice System (CJS). The procurement process is at the tender stage, with a submission deadline set for 4pm (GMT) on 12 November 2021. The contract period is scheduled to commence on 26 November 2021 and conclude by 31 March 2022, falling under the category of "Other community, social and personal services." All bids will be processed during a selection phase managed by the Modern Slavery Unit Pursue Team in collaboration with Home Office Commercial.

Organisations, including police forces and partnerships with the Gangmasters and Labour Abuse Authority, are encouraged to apply, particularly those capable of providing new or enhanced support measures. Successful bidders will need to demonstrate clear implementation strategies, robust evaluation plans, and a commitment to value for money. Furthermore, collaboration among agencies is permitted, provided a lead organisation is designated to represent the partnership. ## Notice The Home Office is seeking to award grant funding to relevant law enforcement agencies to fund measures to support adult victims of modern slavery in engaging with the Criminal Justice System (CJS).
