## Summary

The Hertfordshire Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner (OPCC) has completed a tender process for a research project titled "Research for OPCC on HBA, FGM, FM." This project aimed to gather and analyse data related to victims of Honour-Based Abuse (HBA), Female Genital Mutilation (FGM), and Forced Marriage (FM) to inform commissioning intentions for victim services. The tendering process was conducted via an open procedure, with a contract period running from 4th January 2017 to 30th April 2017. The tender period concluded on 3rd January 2017, and the awarded contract, valued at £28,690, was confirmed on 17th January 2017.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in research services, particularly those with expertise in social research and consultancy. Academic institutions, especially those experienced in working with statutory and non-statutory agencies, would find this tender suitable for collaboration. With a focus on gathering insights from various stakeholders and direct victims, businesses that can provide qualitative and quantitative research methodologies are encouraged to engage. The involvement of local agencies and victim support services means that suppliers with established connections and a commitment to social impact would also be well-placed to compete in future similar projects.

## Notice
