This initiative falls under the category of social services, with key classifications including guidance and counselling and rehabilitation services. The procurement is set within the UKG21 region in Telford, Shropshire, United Kingdom. A market engagement event is scheduled on 2 October 2025, from 10:00 to 11:30, to discuss local authority duties under the Domestic Abuse Act 2021. Businesses interested in participating should plan for significant dates such as the tender notice publication on 18 November 2025 and the response deadline on 7 January 2026, with service commencement slated for 1 June 2026. This tender provides substantial opportunities for businesses, particularly SMEs and VCSEs, specialising in delivering community-based support services and behavioural change programmes. The service is aimed at supporting victims and perpetrators of domestic abuse, with two distinct lots available: one for domestic abuse specialist support and another for perpetrator behaviour change. The total contract value stands at £1,060,000, potentially split across both lots. Companies with expertise in establishing a single point of contact and specialist support for victims, survivors, and children, as well as providing low to medium-risk perpetrator programmes, would find this tender a robust opportunity to expand their service offerings. Additionally, the procurement process, potentially using an Open Procedure under the Procurement Act 2023, allows businesses to engage in a transparent and competitive bidding process. ## Notice Telford & Wrekin Council are inviting the market to an engagement event to discuss the local authority duties relating to the provision of support for victims of domestic abuse and their children under the Domestic Abuse Act 2021, specifically giving effect to the local strategy for the provision of support through commissioning decisions.
