DN750729 - Domestic Abuse Mobile Advocacy (Outreach) Service (Provider Event)
Overview
Summary, notice description and lot information
Peterborough City Council is planning a procurement process for the "DN750729 - Domestic Abuse Mobile Advocacy (Outreach) Service (Provider Event)" under the health and social work services category. The procurement is currently in the planning stage, with the initiation date set for 14 February 2025. The provider event will take place at 9am on Friday, 28 February 2025, with Helen Davies as the contact person.
The contract period is scheduled from 1 October 2024 to 1 April 2029. The procurement process involves a total budget of £770,000 allocated over several financial years until 2031, with key milestones throughout each fiscal year starting from April 2025. This procurement presents significant opportunities for growth, particularly for businesses within the private, voluntary, community, or statutory sectors experienced in providing support to individuals subjected to domestic abuse.
The service aims to empower clients and support their self-identified needs, making it suitable for SMEs and VCSEs capable of delivering tailored, responsive services. The collaboration with other organisations and the trauma-informed approach required will enhance the foundations for long-term client support and safety, thereby providing a robust framework for businesses to showcase their expertise and commitment to social services.
The Domestic Abuse Act 2021 has implemented a statutory requirement on Local Authorities to ensure there is a safe accommodation strategy for individuals subjected to domestic abuse. Mobile Advocacy is a key part of the Peterborough Safe Accommodation Strategy. Potential providers may come from the private, voluntary and community or statutory sector and should be experienced in delivering support to individuals subjected to domestic abuse.
The service will support individuals subjected to domestic abuse in the community and will focus on their self-identified needs, rather than needs defined by the service and any pre-defined actions the agency thinks they should take. The support will be client-led and empowering, working with the individual around their individual needs and for a period dictated by need, not targets. This approach is designed to restore decision making powers and increase space for action for the client.
The service will be expected to work collaboratively with other organisations in the area providing support to those subjected to domestic abuse. The Service will deliver specialist, flexible and responsive support to meet a range of needs. The key aims which underpin all of our domestic abuse services are: - Information and advice to those concerned for themselves or others - Increased safety of the those subjected to domestic abuse - To enable victims and children to cope and recover from abuse they have experienced - Clients will be contacted within 3 working days of referral (maximum) - The service will work in a way which is trauma informed - The service will manage PS10,000 of flexible funding for use to increase the safety of their clients and their children.
It's anticipated that the tender notice will be issued under the Procurement Act 2023. Peterborough City Council will be running a 1 hour session for potential bidders at 9am on Friday 28th February 2025. The session will cover how to submit a tender and a brief overview of the services being procured.
