This licence of the SARA tool allows all Scottish Local Authorities and the Scottish Prison Service to assess domestic abuse perpetrators to inform risk management plans and offender management including supervision requirements and intervention programme suitability.The Public Protection Unit sponsors and has policy oversight for the Caledonian System. The Caledonian System is an accredited intervention consisting of a programme delivered to men convicted of domestic abuse, with services for women and children who have been victims.19 Scottish Local authority areas deliver the Caledonian System on a court mandated basis which accounts for coverage over 60% of all Scottish Local Authorities.The SARA V3 tool, which this specification concerns, is owned and therefore licenced from Canadian Company, Protect International. The tool is an important component of the risk assessment within the Caledonian System and has continually been used as part of the Caledonian system assessment process. The tool will also be used to assess domestic abuse perpetrators in areas where the Caledonian system is not available, but another rehabilitation programme is used.Caledonian workers and workers from other assessment programmes collate information on the nature of the offending behaviour, perpetrator risk factors and victim vulnerability factors. This information is then documented in the SARA tool. The tool then combines the information to help make a meaningful statement regarding the risk posed and assists in the creation of a case management plan to manage risk of offenders. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=JUL484575 | | Notice type | PCS Notice - Quick Quote Award | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Direct | | Procurement method details | The contract is awarded to a single supplier without competition. | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 26 Jul 2023 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 26 Jul 2023 | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £55,000 | | 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 | SCOTTISH GOVERNMENT | | Additional buyers | COMHAIRLE NAN EILEAN SIAR; EAST AYRSHIRE COUNCIL; FIFE COUNCIL; HIGHLANDS AND ISLANDS ENTERPRISE; NORTH EAST SCOTLAND COLLEGE; SCOTTISH GOVERNMENT- SASA; SOCIAL CARE AND SOCIAL WORK IMPROVEMENT SCOTLAND (CARE INSPECTORATE); SOCIAL SECURITY SCOTLAND; THE CITY OF EDINBURGH COUNCIL | | Locality | EDINBURGH | | Post town | Edinburgh | | Postcode | EH12 9FJ | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM5 North Eastern Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM50 Aberdeen City and Aberdeenshire | | Local authority | Aberdeen City | | Electoral ward | George St/Harbour | | Westminster constituency | Aberdeen South | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 14 | | Supplier names | A.C.
