## Summary

The West Yorkshire Combined Authority has completed the procurement process for two significant services under the West Yorkshire Police and Crime Plan. The contracts awarded include the West Yorkshire Independent Stalking Advocacy Caseworker (ISAC) Service and the Independent Sexual Violence Adviser (ISVA) Service, both crucial in providing support for victims of crime such as stalking and sexual assault. This process, conducted via an open procedure, is guided by the legal framework of the UKPGA 2023/54. The ISAC service contract is valued at £2,167,200 and the ISVA service at £6,048,000, with both contracts commencing in early 2026. The ISAC service’s contract period is from February 2026 to February 2029, with potential extensions up to 2033, while the ISVA service’s contract period is from April 2026 to March 2029, also with similar extension options. The contracts were awarded to Leeds Women's Aid and the Rape and Sexual Abuse Centre, respectively, enhancing ongoing support across regions in Yorkshire, specifically tailored to meet victim needs through the criminal justice process, and offering both emotional and practical support.

These procurement contracts represent prime opportunities for businesses specialising in social work services and support for victims of crime to engage in regional development. Organisations that can demonstrate a strong track record in providing confidential and impartial support services are well-positioned to collaborate or compete in this domain. Potential contractors may focus on offering innovative solutions that enhance the quality and impact of such services, as both lots highlighted quality weighting as a significant component of the selection criteria. The inclusion of subcontracting partnerships suggests further opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), particularly those operating in the voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) sector, to contribute to these initiatives. Business growth can be achieved through the extensive contract periods and the potential for extension, allowing firms to establish and expand their presence in the public services sector in the United Kingdom.
