## Summary

Isle of Wight Council is commissioning an external provider to carry out a Domestic Abuse and Sexual Violence Needs Assessment. The work will examine need and inform the council’s future commissioning, service development and strategic planning. It is a research and consultancy assignment with relevance to organisations working in health, social care, domestic abuse, sexual violence, needs assessment, public policy or related community services. The assessment is to be delivered for the council, with the procurement’s delivery location recorded in the United Kingdom. The work will require effective mobilisation, access to relevant data and engagement with stakeholders so that the findings can support future decisions about services and strategy.

The process has reached tender: the council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. It is a single-lot services procurement. The tender submission deadline was 16 September 2026 at 2pm, and enquiries were due by 4 September 2026 at noon. The contract period is scheduled from 5 October 2026 to 31 March 2027, approximately four to six months. The estimated value is £25,000 excluding VAT, or £30,000 including VAT.

Relevant strengths include designing and delivering needs assessments, analysing service and population data, understanding safeguarding and specialist support provision, and presenting findings for commissioning and strategic planning. The provider will need to mobilise effectively, work with the council and stakeholders, obtain and interpret available data, and deliver a clear assessment within the agreed period. The procurement is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and for voluntary, community and social enterprises, making it relevant to specialist organisations as well as established consultancies.
