Classified under the health and social work services category (CPV: 85000000), the tender focuses on providing community-based support for individuals subjected to domestic abuse through mobile advocacy. A one-hour bidder session will be held on 28th February 2025 at 9am to guide potential bidders on the submission process and service overview. Interested parties should contact Helen Davies for an invitation. The procurement process aligns with the legal framework set by the Procurement Act 2023, with the future notice date set for 3rd July 2025. The service will manage a flexible funding pool of £10,000 to enhance client safety, with an overall contract value of £770,000, inclusive of two possible 12-month extensions. Businesses experienced in providing support services to individuals subjected to domestic abuse, particularly those in the private, voluntary, community, or statutory sectors, have a significant opportunity for growth through this tender. The Mobile Advocacy Service aims to empower clients by focusing on their self-identified needs, promoting recovery, and enhancing safety through a client-led and trauma-informed approach. Collaboration with local organisations providing support to domestic abuse victims is a key component, making this tender especially well-suited for entities with a strong track record in partnership and community work. With the rising emphasis on statutory compliance and trauma-informed care, businesses that can deliver specialist, flexible, and responsive support stand to gain from participating in this vital service provision. ## Notice The Domestic Abuse Act 2021 has implemented a statutory requirement on Local Authorities to ensure there is a safe accommodation strategy for individuals subjected to domestic abuse. Mobile Advocacy is a key part of the Peterborough Safe Accommodation Strategy. Potential providers may come from the private, voluntary and community or statutory sector and should be experienced in delivering support to individuals subjected to domestic abuse. The service will support individuals subjected to domestic abuse in the community and will focus on their self-identified needs, rather than needs defined by the service and any pre-defined actions the agency thinks they should take. The support will be client-led and empowering, working with the individual around their individual needs and for a period dictated by need, not targets. This approach is designed to restore decision making powers and increase space for action for the client. The service will be expected to work collaboratively with other organisations in the area providing support to those subjected to domestic abuse. The Service will deliver specialist, flexible and responsive support to meet a range of needs. The key aims which underpin all of our domestic abuse services are: - Information and advice to those concerned for themselves or others - Increased safety of the those subjected to domestic abuse - To enable victims and children to cope and recover from abuse they have experienced - Clients will be contacted within 3 working days of referral (maximum) - The service will work in a way which is trauma informed - The service will manage PS10,000 of flexible funding for use to increase the safety of their clients and their children.
