This is reflected in national policy such as the Social Services and Well-Being (Wales) Act 2014, the Well-Being of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015 as well as the Wales Safeguarding Procedures -https://www.safeguarding.wales/The Police and Crime Commissioner for Gwent on behalf of the five Local Authorities within Gwent are seeking an independent body to undertake a review of the current services in the East and West Safeguarding Hubs along with the Missing Children Service to assist in informing them on the future model for the provision of these services. The aim of the review is to allow each service to have a clear understanding as to the benefits derived from the changes in the current service provision which have been made to date, along with areas for improvement. Each local authority will require a set of recommendations to inform future decisions, by establishing the overall success of the safeguarding hubs whilst identifying areas for improvement. The review shall also establish the operational effectiveness of the Missing Children Service, whilst identifying areas where improvements can be made to this area. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Sell2Wales | | Latest notice | https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/search/search_switch.aspx?ID=129048 | | Notice type | S2W Notice - Website Contract Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 5 Feb 2025 | | Submission deadline | 24 Feb 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 25 Apr 2023 | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £39,450 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Not specified | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | POLICE AND CRIME COMMISSIONER FOR GWENT POLICE | | Locality | CWMBRAN | | Post town | Newport | | Postcode | NP44 2XJ | | Country | Wales | | ITL 1 | TLL Wales | | ITL 2 | TLL5 South East Wales | | ITL 3 | TLL53 Gwent Valleys | | Local authority | Torfaen | | Electoral ward | Llanyrafon | | Westminster constituency | Torfaen | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | EMERALD CONSULTING GROUP | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 73000000 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ## Release History - 5 Feb 2025 at 15:25 - Award - S2W Notice - Website Contract Award Notice - https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/search/search_switch.aspx?ID=129048 - 10 Feb 2023 at 09:50 - Tender - S2W Notice - Website Invitation to Tender Notice - https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/search/search_switch.aspx?ID=129048 ## Notice URLs - http://www.gwent.police.uk - https://etenderwales.bravosolution.co.uk/ - https://www.gwent.police.uk - https://www.safeguarding.wales/The ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
