## Summary

The procurement process conducted by the Police and Crime Commissioner for North Wales Police aimed to address critical services under the title "Family Court Pathfinder," with a focus on health and social work services. Based in Colwyn Bay, North Wales, the contracting authority engaged in a direct award procurement method to secure these services, as previously limited competition justified this choice. The procurement stage is in the award phase for the service category, focusing on managing matters like Domestic Abuse and Stalking assessments as well as offering advisory roles to family courts. The most recent award date is 15th May 2026, with the contract expected to run from 29th May 2026 to 31st March 2027. The location for contractual services is designated as within the United Kingdom, specifically the North Wales region.

This contract presents substantial opportunities for businesses involved in the service industries, particularly those focusing on domestic abuse prevention, legal advisory, and court support services. Enterprises such as SMEs, voluntary, community and social enterprises, and sheltered workshops particularly stand to benefit, with the supplier selected indicating potential for similar organisations to thrive. By engaging in this contract, entities can reinforce their market presence in the UK, contributing to both public welfare and business growth through direct involvement in critical social services, enhancing their reputation for supporting critical public service missions.

## Notice

The provision requires that service providers undertake Domestic Abuse, Stalking and Honour Based Violence (DASH) assessment, give advice to the court on an individual family's circumstances and provide in-court support to those who need them.
