This procurement falls under the health and social work services category and is at the tender stage, with submissions due by 6th July 2021. The contract is set to commence on 1st April 2022 and can extend up to a total of five years, with a potential contract value of £600,000, and an annual budget of £120,000. The procurement operates under the Light Touch Regime for Social and Other Specific Services as defined by the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. This tender presents opportunities for small local enterprises and voluntary and community sector organisations, particularly those engaged in social and community services, as the buyer encourages proposals from such businesses. The commissioning will establish a system of support services, which will include a helpline and engagement service, functioning as a primary access point for victims of domestic and sexual violence. Hence, businesses with experience in social care, counselling, and engagement services will find valuable prospects in collaborating with the authorities on this significant initiative. ## Notice Leicester City Council, Leicestershire County Council, Rutland County Council and the Police and Crime Commissioner for Leicestershire are jointly re-commissioning domestic and sexual violence and abuse (DSVA) services across Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland (LLR). We are commissioning a system of provision (the Service System) rather than a single service. As part of this DSVA re-commissioning exercise, Leicestershire County Council, invites Tenders for the provision of Domestic and Sexual Violence and Abuse Accommodation Related Support Services. The proposed Contract will be for an initial period from 01 April 2022 to 31 March 2025 with an option to extend, subject to satisfactory performance outcomes and agreement by the Authority, for a further period up to a total of two years (24months) to 31 March 2027, taking the contract term to a maximum of 5 years. The Authority wishes to ensure that procurement opportunities are open to small local enterprises and voluntary and community sector organisations as it appreciates the very important role they play in the local economy. Tenders from these organisations are particularly welcomed. The Authority has established the procurement process on the basis of funding it is currently. However, the Authorities does anticipate receiving some additional funding from the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG). Contracts have been written with precise but flexible options for variation so that this additional funding can be used to secure additional services through this contract should the Authority so wish. The contract value for this service is PS120,000 per annum. An estimated contract value for the proposed 5-year period if extension options are utilised is PS600,000. The Authorities are commissioning a system of provision (the Service System) rather than a single service so this specification (which is for part of the system) should be read in conjunction with the Overarching Model Document which sets out the Service System. A Helpline and Engagement Service will be the main local access point for victims of domestic and sexual violence and abuse (and those supporting them) and as such it will offer a "front door" to other support services. By taking this approach we intend to reduce victims re-telling their experiences multiple times, reduce delay and improve co-ordination and relationships. The Authority is conducting this procurement under the Light Touch Regime for Social and Other Specific Services, as set out in the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, (Regulations 74 to 77). ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2c3c74ef-87fb-43bd-ae79-8b6d6bb4fb60 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 7 May 2021 | | Submission deadline | 6 Jul 2021 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Mar 2022 - 31 Mar 2027 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £600,000 | | 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 | LEICESTERSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL | | Locality | LEICESTER | | Post town | Leicester | | Postcode | LE3 8RA | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLF East Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLF2 Leicestershire, Rutland and Northamptonshire | | ITL 3 | TLF22 Leicestershire CC and Rutland | | Local authority | Blaby | | Electoral ward | Glenfield Faire | | Westminster constituency | Mid Leicestershire | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England), TLH East (England), TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85000000 - Health and social work services ## Release History - 7 May 2021 at 14:55 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2c3c74ef-87fb-43bd-ae79-8b6d6bb4fb60 - 7 May 2021 at 14:43 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6023f339-9d3c-418b-8360-d69769625d60 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2c3c74ef-87fb-43bd-ae79-8b6d6bb4fb60 7th May 2021 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6023f339-9d3c-418b-8360-d69769625d60 7th May 2021 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=8932e053-37af-eb11-810c-005056b64545 Advert ## Notice URLs - https://www.eastmidstenders.org/index.html ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
