## Summary

Cambridgeshire County Council is planning a procurement process titled "Domestic Abuse Refuges," focused on providing services within the social services industry category. Located in Alconbury Weald, Huntingdon, the procurement pertains to the UKH12 region. Currently in the planning stage, this procurement will be conducted under a light touch regime and is expected to begin implementation on 1st April 2028, continuing until 31st March 2031. The contract has an estimated gross value of £2,490,000, with opportunities for renewal extending up to 2033. Interested parties should take note of this advance planning as the future notice for tender publication is anticipated on 1st April 2027.

This procurement represents a significant opportunity for growth, particularly for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that can offer specialised services in domestic abuse support. The initiative requires not only the provision of women’s refuges but also support workers for children in these refuges. Organisations skilled in social care services, particularly those experienced in dealing with vulnerable groups, could effectively compete for this contract, providing crucial community support while expanding their business footprint within the public sector.
