The service covers safe accommodation with support; one-to-one support through drop-in services; telephone, online and email support; advocacy and outreach; and training and awareness raising. It also requires partnership working with social work, schools, learning and education, housing, community justice, Police Scotland and other community planning partners, so that people affected by domestic abuse receive coordinated support. This is a social care service, classified under CPV 85310000, delivered in Stirling. The requirement supports the Council’s statutory duty to provide assistance to women and children affected by domestic abuse. The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Stirling and District Women’s Aid. Stirling Council used a limited procedure without prior publication of a competition call, making a direct award under Section 12 of the Procurement Reform (Scotland) Act 2014. The stated rationale was to provide continuity, stability and accessible support. One bid was received, from an SME, and it was submitted electronically. The contract was signed on 13 August 2026 and is active. Its value is £140,790. The process covered one lot for the full support service, with no additional purchasing options. The award was made to the single selected supplier, Stirling and District Women’s Aid. For providers of domestic abuse support, this award demonstrates demand from Stirling Council for an integrated service rather than a single intervention. A credible future competitor would need to deliver safe accommodation alongside practical and emotional support through drop-in, telephone, online and email channels, advocacy and outreach. Experience in training and awareness raising would also be relevant. The requirement favours organisations able to work effectively across social work, education, housing, community justice, policing and wider community planning partnerships. Providers would need the operational capacity to support both women and children, maintain accessible services and contribute to a stable, coordinated local safeguarding response. The incumbent’s profile also indicates that a smaller specialist organisation can deliver this type of council-funded service. ## Notice Stirling Council has a requirement for services for women and children who have previously, or are currently, experiencing domestic abuse.The provision of support to women and children affected by domestic abuse is a statutory duty.
