## Summary

Kent County Council is planning a procurement process for the provision of a comprehensive Domestic Abuse Service, scheduled to commence on 1st April 2027, and conclude on 31st March 2030. This opportunity is classified under the "social work services" category, with services to be delivered within the United Kingdom, specifically in the South East region (UKJ4). The procurement method will follow a competitive flexible procedure, deemed "open," which is above the threshold under the special regime "lightTouch." Although the tender is currently in the planning stage, a future notice is expected by 3rd August 2026, providing more details and possibly signalling the transition to the next stage in the procurement process.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in social work services, particularly those with the capability to provide support and accommodation for domestic abuse victims. With a substantial contract value of £26,000,000, this offers a lucrative chance for established service providers in the social sector to expand their operations and influence within the South East region. Companies skilled in delivering integrated care solutions, and those with experience in managing social service provisions, would find this tender well-aligned with their expertise and may benefit from engaging with Kent County Council during the competitive procedure.
