## Summary

The Coventry City Council has concluded a tender process for a mental health support service for victims of domestic abuse. The service falls under the guidance and counselling services category with a contract value of £1,460,000. The procurement stage is now complete, and the service is scheduled to start on 1st July 2024. The City Council intends to provide this service to victims in safe accommodation, aiming to meet new statutory duties introduced by the Domestic Abuse Act 2021.

This procurement opportunity could benefit businesses involved in providing mental health services, guidance, and counselling. Businesses catering to under-represented groups and those with experience in delivering evidenced interventions may find this tender particularly relevant. With a strong emphasis on quality criteria accounting for 70% of the evaluation, suitable businesses should be equipped to deliver the specified model of service delivery, support for under-represented groups, and verifiable interventions, alongside competitive pricing to secure the 30% weightage in the award criteria.

## Notice

The Domestic Abuse Act 2021 introduced new statutory duties on local authorities to provide a range of support to victims in 'safe accommodation' (i.e. refuge / dispersed accommodation or sanctuary-type schemes). As an element of a range of support for victims, the City Council introduced a pilot for the provision of a new service, supporting the mental health needs of victims in safe accommodation. This pilot has operated since September 2021 and will expire at the end of June 2024. Further to the pilot for the provision of a service supporting the mental health needs of victims in safe accommodation ending in June 2024, Coventry City Council wishes to put a new contract in place for this service to commence on the 1st July 2024.
