## Summary

Durham County Council has awarded a contract for the "Violence Against Women and Girls Reduction (Bystander Intervention)" project, under the jurisdiction of the UKC14 region. This is a direct procurement process that falls below the threshold and was conducted without competition, culminating in the contract's signing on 1st September 2025. The project involves the implementation of the licensed "Shout Up!" programme, spearheaded by the Rape and Sexual Abuse Counselling Centre (RSACC). Contractual obligations commenced on 1st September 2025 and will continue through 30th September 2027. The procurement is classified under the services category with a focus on education and training, aligning with public authority objectives to tackle violence against women and girls, particularly in Durham.

This tender presents opportunities for entities involved in educational and training sectors, particularly those with competencies in social work and community engagement, to gain insights into strategic project execution and cultural change initiatives. While the contract was directly awarded to RSACC due to its unique licensing qualifications, similar organisations can assess the impact and methodologies utilised in this contract to enhance their service offerings or seek partnerships for similar initiatives. Businesses aiming to diversify into governmental contracting in public safety and social welfare domains could leverage such contracts as case studies for their growth strategies.
