This contract aims to enhance the resilience and development of the workforce within the VAWG sector as part of the Mayor of London's Police and Crime Plan 2025-2029. Located in London, this service procurement falls under the health and social work services category with an anticipated gross value of £240,000. A market engagement event was held online on 11th September 2025, with procurement activities expected to progress with a contract period starting from 20th April 2026 to 19th July 2027. This tender presents a significant opportunity for organisations specialising in health and social work services, particularly those with experience in the VAWG sector, to contribute to a strategic initiative that promises sector-wide impact. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs), as well as voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), are highly encouraged to participate, especially if they can collaborate with a VAWG sector organisation. By engaging in this process, businesses can expand their operations, enhance their portfolio, and establish influential partnerships in the public sector. ## Notice As outlined in the Mayor of London Police and Crime Plan 2025 - 2029, victims of crime remain at the heart of everything we do, and the Mayor will continue to invest in the support provided to victims. In his current strategy, he is committed to work with partners to support the development and resilience of the VAWG sector workforce. To support the sector and deliver on his commitment, MOPAC now wish to procure a supplier to develop the Mayor's VAWG Sector Workforce Development Strategy. We will be encouraging and hopeful of receiving bids from organisations working in partnership with a VAWG sector organisation, or similar arrangements.
