## Summary

Derbyshire County Council has successfully completed a procurement process titled "Provision of specialist legal advice to prevent victims of domestic abuse becoming homeless - Derbyshire County South". This contract, situated within the legal advisory services industry category, focuses on supporting victims of domestic abuse with legal measures to prevent homelessness and provide quick transitions from temporary accommodations. The process is located in the UKF1 region of the United Kingdom and marks its conclusion with the award to Derbyshire Law Centre, a large-scale supplier, which will be active from January to December 2026. The procurement stages included planning and awarding, with the contract officially signed on 27th November 2025, holding a gross value of £44,400.

This tender presents robust business growth opportunities, particularly for organisations offering legal expertise focusing on community service and working within public authority frameworks. Businesses that specialise in legal advisory services, specifically related to domestic issues and tenancy legalities, could find valuable engagement chances with public sector contracts like this one. Moreover, firms that can leverage their expertise in navigating the legal system to support vulnerable communities such as domestic abuse victims could establish themselves as crucial partners to government bodies like Derbyshire County Council. The procurement method being below threshold allows smaller or newly established firms to participate, offering a stepping stone into public procurement engagements.

## Notice

is to support victims of domestic abuse who have had to leave their homes that they lawfully occupy as tenants or homeowners, to return to their property or move on quickly from temporary accommodation by accessing appropriate legal measures. By providing funding to work with victims of domestic abuse who have had to leave their homes that they lawfully occupy as tenants or homeowners, it is hoped a legal professional would be able to issue court proceedings and carry out other regulated activities as prescribed by the Legal Services Act 2007. This would include working to support making applications to the court to obtain occupation orders or non-molestation orders. In some cases, this would prevent the need for a long term stay in refuge or a homeless application to the local authorities. This in turn can prevent disruption to other family members, particularly children.
