This procurement falls under the health and social work services category and is based in the UK. The consultation period for this opportunity is open from 8 December 2021 to 31 January 2022, allowing for stakeholder engagement and collaboration among potential providers. Interested organisations should consider participating in this process, which facilitates cooperative bidding through the ProContract system, with further details accessible via the city council's website. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in health and social services, particularly those with expertise in domestic violence and abuse intervention. The collaborative nature of the procurement process will benefit organisations that are able to partner with others, including smaller voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations. Such partnerships can enhance service delivery, improve the range of specialisms available, and ultimately lead to more sustainable business growth as they tap into greater resources and expertise to meet the diverse needs of service users. ## Notice Bristol City Council intends to commission domestic violence and abuse services.

In order to facilitate the collaborative type bids allowed in the procurement process we have developed a tool for potential providers.

Our contracting arrangements allow for collaboration between organisations to deliver services by a lead partnership or a severally liable partnership arrangement. Collaboration between organisations brings a number of benefits to service delivery. * Provides a coherent and more simplistic service offer to the service user. For example a one gateway approach. * Increases the expertise available to address the complex issue of domestic abuse. * Increases diversity to meet the need of a wider range of service users. * Brings access to a wider group of stakeholders. * Allows smaller VCSE organisations to be involved in the service delivery. * Brings economies of scale. In order to support organisations to form partnerships to bid for these contracts we have developed a document to help potential partners to consider the pros and cons involved in the process. The Opportunity The opportunity will be advertised through the procontract E-tendering system. If you are interested in collaboration you may want to be contacted by other interested parties. One option is to upload to procontract or email your details to the address on this notice and they will be included with the tender docs.
