This procurement falls under the category of social services and will primarily serve the London region (UKI). The process is currently in the planning stage, with a future notice date set for 21st May 2025. The contract aims to find a suitably capable supplier to provide these services initially for two years, with an option to extend for an additional year, making it a potential three-year contract. The services required include supporting MPS officers and staff who experience domestic and sexual abuse, ensuring that victims can self-refer or be referred by a colleague, with no obligation to share personal information with the MPS. This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses with expertise in social services, particularly those experienced in offering domestic and sexual abuse support. The Metropolitan Police Service is open to collaborative bids, as long as the resulting contract is managed by one lead supplier. Businesses that have a proven track record in dealing with domestic abuse and sexual violence cases, and understand the complexities within a police organisation, will benefit from bidding on this contract. This is an excellent opportunity for professional organisations in the social services industry to expand their services and collaborate with a prominent public law enforcement body. ## Notice The MPS is tendering for the supply of Employee IDVA and ISVA Services to the MPS. The MPS is seeking through this tendering process to award a contract with a suitably capable supplier to provide these services for an initial term of two years with a unilateral option of the MPS to extend for a further period of one year to a maximum of 3 years. MPS are willing to accept collaborative bids on the basis that if successful, the resulting contract for services will be with one supplier as the lead and responsible for delivery of the entire service as specified in the service specification. The MPS requires a supplier to supply an internal IDVA and ISVA service for officers and staff employed by the organisation to access if they experience domestic abuse. The supplier will have a proven track record in supporting victim survivors of domestic abuse and sexual violence. They will understand the unique barriers to reporting that victims of police perpetrated offences face and will also be able to navigate the complexities that come with disclosure of abuse within a police organisation. Victims will be able to self-refer or be referred (with consent) by a colleague on their behalf. Victims can be referred to the service at any point regardless of whether or not a criminal investigation has been launched. There will be obligation on the supplier to provide any personal information to the MPS about their clients or offences that have been disclosed. The service is not reserved for just high-risk cases. ### Lot Information Lot 1 The Metropolitan Police Service is seeking to appoint a suitably qualified supplier to deliver Independent Domestic Abuse Advocacy and Independent Sexual Violence Advocacy for officers and staff employed by the MPS. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/002069-2025 | | 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 | 21 Jan 2025 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 20 May 2025 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | 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 | METROPOLITAN POLICE SERVICE | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW1A 2JL | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | Westminster | | Electoral ward | St James's | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | TLI London | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services - 98 - Other community, social and personal services ### Codes - 85320000 - Social services - 98112000 - Services furnished by professional organisations ## Release History - 21 Jan 2025 at 16:09 - Planning - Planning Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/002069-2025 ## Notice URLs - https://www.met.police.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
