## Summary

The London Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham, in collaboration with the Royal Borough of Kensington & Chelsea and Westminster City Council, is spearheading a significant procurement initiative focusing on Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) services. This process involves a multi-lot contract structure to address different aspects, including Multi-Agency Risk Assessment Conferences (MARAC) coordination and integrated support for survivors. The procurement uses an open procedure under the Procurement Act 2023, with contracts beginning on 1 October 2026 for an initial three-year term, extendable by up to two additional years. This endeavour falls under the services category and primarily impacts the Greater London area, specifically regions UKI31, UKI32, and UKI33. The overall process began with planning and then moved through tendering and awarding stages, with an emphasis on quality and social value as crucial criteria for evaluation.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for organisations specialising in social work services, particularly those focusing on providing support for survivors of domestic abuse and violence. Businesses with a strong track record in delivering community-based interventions, professional training, and cultural sensitivity in service delivery would find this procurement particularly beneficial. The inclusion of a social value criterion within the evaluation underscores the potential for SMEs and VCSEs to leverage their unique capabilities and experiences. The procurement’s open nature and substantial budget also suggest attractive growth prospects for companies seeking to expand their footprint within public sector contracts, given the potential for long-term engagement and scope for service provision linked to evolving community needs.

## Notice

The London Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham (H&F), acting as lead authority on behalf of the Royal Borough of Kensington & Chelsea (RBKC) and Westminster City Council (WCC), invited tenders for the recommissioning of services that form part of a Coordinated Community Response to Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG). The procurement was divided into three Lots. Contracts will commence on 1 October 2026 for an initial term of thirty-six months, with the option of two further twelve-month extensions. Lot 1 covers the coordination of Multi-Agency Risk Assessment Conferences (MARAC) for high-risk domestic abuse cases. The successful provider will manage the end-to-end MARAC process, including case list preparation, meeting facilitation, timely information-sharing, and the establishment of a MARAC Steering Group to drive continuous improvement and partnership learning. Lot 2 relates to the delivery of an Integrated Support Service for survivors of domestic abuse, sexual violence, stalking, and other forms of VAWG. Lot 3 focuses on Harmful Practices Coordination, a strategic and community-facing role designed to identify and respond to harmful practices such as so-called 'honour'-based abuse. The provider will undertake outreach and engagement activities, raise awareness, deliver professional training, and attend MARAC meetings to ensure these cases are not overlooked. The procurement was be conducted through an open procedure in compliance with the Procurement Act 2023. Each participating borough will enter into its own sovereign contract following the joint tender process. Evaluation will be based on a weighting of seventy per cent for quality and thirty per cent for price, with social value included within the quality criteria for Lots 1 and 2. Suppliers had to demonstrate relevant experience in delivering VAWG services.
