Support for victims of modern slavery requires a level of expertise from professionals to help victims navigate the complex national landscapes relating to immigration, NRM, asylum as well as other local support services. The service should seek to build a collaborative relationship with the survivor, providing clear explanations of relevant legal and technical language. This enables the survivor to make informed decisions as they navigate complex pathways and situations, seeking to support the victim to make informed decisions about their engagement with the police, the NRM and other support services. The support should seek to augment (not duplicate) the national provision so that victims feel safe and empowered to remain involved in any investigations. The support should be independent from the police. The Service would look to commence from 1st April 2025. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/024183-2024 | | Notice type | Planning Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 1 Aug 2024 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 4 Nov 2024 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £224,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planned | | Lots status | Planned | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | POLICE AND CRIME COMMISSIONER FOR AVON & SOMERSET | | Locality | BRISTOL | | Post town | Bristol | | Postcode | BS20 8QJ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK6 North Somerset, Somerset and Dorset | | ITL 3 | TLK61 North Somerset | | Local authority | North Somerset | | Electoral ward | Portishead North | | Westminster constituency | North Somerset | | Delivery location | TLK1 Gloucestershire, Wiltshire and Bristol/Bath area | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services - 98 - Other community, social and personal services ### Codes - 85000000 - Health and social work services - 98000000 - Other community, social and personal services ## Release History - 1 Aug 2024 at 14:47 - Planning - Planning Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/024183-2024 ## Notice URLs - https://www.avonandsomerset-pcc.gov.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
