The procurement involves services falling under the CPV classification of Other community, social and personal services. The contract duration is from 1st October 2024 to 30th September 2027, with the option to extend. The tender period ends on 17th June 2024, with the award period starting the same day. The procurement method is an open procedure, and electronic submissions are required. This tender by Sefton Council presents an opportunity for businesses in the services sector to provide a fully integrated Community Domestic Abuse service. Companies with expertise in leading and achieving transformational change in community victim/survivor domestic abuse services are well-suited to compete. This contract is bound by the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 'Light Touch' Regime and allows for a contract renewal after the initial period, providing potential for long-term partnerships. Businesses interested should ensure compliance with the submission terms and be prepared for collaboration with key strategic partners. ## Notice Current Domestic Abuse (DA) provision in Sefton has evolved historically and has the potential to be disjointed and based on risk. The needs assessment that was commissioned to meet our statutory obligations under the DA Act, tells us we have unmet need around: * Reporting of DA in more affluent areas of the borough was less than in areas of deprivation. * Women with complex needs * Older Victims / Survivors * Male Victims We are proposing to procure a fully integrated Community Domestic Abuse service that operates on a network approach, is open to anyone irrespective of their protected characteristic or risk level. The new contract duration will be 1st October 2024 to 30th September 2027, with the option to extend for 2 x 12 months. ### Lot Information Lot 1 This specification sets out Sefton's ambitions for the transformation of community domestic abuse services in Sefton and explains the detailed requirements Commissioners have in procuring the specialist expertise that will be vital in leading and achieving the desired change. We anticipate that the successful Provider(s) will work closely with Sefton Council and other key strategic partners to lead and influence the re-design of community victim/survivor domestic abuse services in the context of the Vision for 2030 and its goals for our residents. The service should serve to address key priorities contained within Sefton's Domestic & Sexual Abuse Strategy, Sefton's Health and Wellbeing Strategy and NHS Cheshire and Merseyside Integrated Care System Strategy and the developing Sefton Place Plan. It will therefore be important for the successful bidder(s) to be fully aware of the commissioner requirements and the contextual environment these requirements are being made in and respond positively and flexibly to changes to the above during the course of the contract. The new contract duration will be 1st October 2024 to 30th September 2027, with the option to extend for 2 x 12 months. The Council is bound to follow the procedure in accordance with Section 7 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, also known as the 'Light Touch' Regime under the EU Procurement Directives. It is the intention of the Council to invite full tenders to be submitted in accordance with these instructions. Options: There are 2 x 12 month extension options available following the 36 month core period. Renewal: The contract will be renewed after either 36.48 or 60 months, depending on the take up off the available extension options. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/016407-2024 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 24 May 2024 | | Submission deadline | 17 Jun 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £2,500,000 | | Lots value | £2,500,000 | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Active | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | SEFTON COUNCIL | | Locality | BOOTLE | | Post town | Liverpool | | Postcode | L20 3NJ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD7 Merseyside | | ITL 3 | TLD73 Sefton | | Local authority | Sefton | | Electoral ward | Derby | | Westminster constituency | Bootle | | Delivery location | TLD North West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 98 - Other community, social and personal services ### Codes - 98000000 - Other community, social and personal services ## Release History - 24 May 2024 at 08:52 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/016407-2024 ## Notice URLs - http://www.sefton.gov.uk/ - https://procontract.due-north.com - https://procontract.due-north.com/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
