## Summary

Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council has successfully concluded a procurement process for the "Adults DA Community Service", operating under the public authority sub-central government category. The procurement, involving health and social work services, was conducted through an open competition below the threshold, and the contract was awarded to Black Country Women's Aid. Situated in Dudley, United Kingdom, the procurement covered the provision of a Domestic Abuse Specialist Community Support Service scheduled to operate from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2027. This procurement stage has advanced from a tender, with essential deadlines including the submission cut-off on 18th November 2025, demonstrating a structured and outcomes-focused approach to supporting victims of domestic abuse.

This tender presents substantial growth opportunities for businesses involved in providing specialised social work services, particularly those focused on domestic abuse support. Businesses that deliver innovative, outcomes-focused support structures suitable for diverse victim needs, including smaller enterprises, and those classified as voluntary and community sector enterprises (VCSEs), are well-suited to compete in similar tenders. Such initiatives not only foster service provision expansion but also reinforce partnerships within local community safety networks, offering chances for collaboration and community impact, thereby enhancing business growth potential in public service sectors.

## Notice

The Community Safety Team, with a contribution from Public Health, has commissioned a Domestic Abuse Specialist Community Support Service since 2014. Previously this was funded through the Community Safety Fund allocated to the Community Safety Partnership from the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner, however since 2022 it has been funded through DMBC Domestic Abuse funding, with a continued contribution from Public Health. The service provides free, independent, flexible and time-limited specialist support to individuals who meet the eligibility criteria. The service is responsive to the needs of all victims, regardless of ethnic background, including male victims, older victims, younger victims and LGBTQ+ victims to ensure appropriate access and effective support to individuals that is structured and outcomes focused. It also works effectively with other local domestic abuse service providers/partners. Dudley MBC plan to re-commission this contract for 12 months from 1st April 2026.
