Businesses with expertise in quick service delivery and partnership-building within communities will find this opportunity align with their strategic objectives.

### Lot Information

Domestic Abuse Support Service

The Domestic Abuse Support Service will provide a comprehensive support service for adults, children and families affected by domestic abuse. The service will respond flexibly to changing circumstances, offering a range of interventions and support to be able to respond appropriately and in a timely manner when people seek help

### Procurement Information

* Leeds Women's Aid are the only provider that has the expertise, capacity, experience and local knowledge and connections to deliver the service at this time, which correlates with the requirements of the provision as to a lack of competition for technical reasons. * the current providers of the Leeds Domestic Violence Service are Leeds Women's Aid, Behind Closed Doors and Women's Health Matters. All three organisations are vastly experienced at providing this specialist service in the city. All three organisations work well in partnership and have a proven track record of delivering a quality service for their clients. Neither BCD nor WHM have the capacity to deliver the entire service independently and do not have experience of delivering refuge provision, however the overall service benefits from the expertise that they are able to bring to community-based elements of the service. This is done through sub-contracting arrangements with LWA. * there are no concerns with the current provision which would suggest that there is any meaningful risk with entering into a new contract with Leeds Women's Aid. They have consistently met their contractual obligations and all three partners have engaged with clients, commissioners and other stakeholders with regard to ongoing service delivery and improvement. * LDVS has been instrumental in establishing and developing key partnership arrangements in the city, particularly the daily DRAM, the twice weekly MARAC meetings and the DAVA Forum * the LDVS brand is well established in the city for clients, health care professionals and third sector organisations. * recommissioning the LDVS service in the city would provide continuity of care for vulnerable, at-risk clients and minimise disruption for those currently working with the service. * LDVS has been awarded various pots of additional funding throughout the last contract period which allowed the service to offer enhanced support to people experiencing domestic abuse. The service is well placed to quickly deliver additional or new elements of support to individuals and families in the city through their already established links and structures.
