This process is focused on securing services in the industry categories of community services and social services, including advisory and counselling services. Located in Birmingham, the buying organisation operates within the sub-central government public authority sector. As of recent updates, the market engagement phase invites feedback on draft specifications until 15th October 2025. The procurement aims to establish a framework agreement, with the official tender notice expected on 1st January 2026 and the contract period starting from 1st July 2026 to 30th June 2034. This tender represents a substantial opportunity for various businesses interested in the provision of community and social services, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs), which are suited to offering services such as support for domestic abuse and sexual assault victims. Companies specialising in counselling, advisory services provided by healthcare professionals, or those with experience in executing social service programmes can leverage this framework to expand their service offerings and client base within the public sector. Given the focus on a long-term framework, successful bidders will benefit from a stable contractual relationship lasting eight years, contributing significantly to business growth and sector experience. ## Notice Domestic Abuse - Sexual Assault and Abuse Services Framework - Inviting feedback on draft specifications - https://www.westmidlands-pcc.gov.uk/grants-contracts/domestic-abuse-sexual-assault-and-abuse-services-framework/ ### Planning Information We are inviting feedback on the draft specification until 15th October 2025 ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/062927-2025 | | Notice type | UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Framework | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 7 Oct 2025 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 1 Jan 2026 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 30 Jun 2026 - 30 Jun 2034 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Planning | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | POLICE AND CRIME COMMISSIONER FOR WEST MIDLANDS | | Locality | BIRMINGHAM | | Post town | Birmingham | | Postcode | B4 6AT | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLG West Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLG3 West Midlands | | ITL 3 | TLG31 Birmingham | | Local authority | Birmingham | | Electoral ward | Ladywood | | Westminster constituency | Birmingham Ladywood | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 75 - Administration, defence and social security services - 85 - Health and social work services - 98 - Other community, social and personal services ### Codes - 75200000 - Provision of services to the community - 85141220 - Advisory services provided by nurses - 85312300 - Guidance and counselling services - 85312320 - Counselling services - 85320000 - Social services - 98000000 - Other community, social and personal services ## Release History - 7 Oct 2025 at 13:59 - PlanningUpdate - UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/062927-2025 - 1 Oct 2025 at 13:05 - PlanningUpdate - UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/061351-2025 - 1 Oct 2025 at 13:01 - Planning - UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/061343-2025 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/062927-2025 7th October 2025 - Preliminary market engagement notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/061351-2025 1st October 2025 - Preliminary market engagement notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/061343-2025 1st October 2025 - Preliminary market engagement notice on Find a Tender ## Notice URLs - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents - https://www.westmidlands-pcc.gov.uk/grants-contracts/domestic-abuse-sexual-assault-and-abuse-services-framework/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
