Summary of the contracting process
The Southend-on-Sea City Council, a sub-central government public authority, has completed a procurement process titled "Domestic Abuse Service," under the legal basis 2023/54. This process falls within the administrative social services industry category and is located in Southend On Sea, Essex, United Kingdom. The procurement stage is finalised with the award stage completed and an active contract in place.
The service aims to provide support in safe accommodation with the funding from DLUHC, specifically requiring Safe Steps to incorporate an additional staffing role. Key dates include the contract period from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2026, with the contract signed on 1st April 2025. The procurement method was classified as below threshold with details unknown.
Given the requirement for additional staffing within domestic abuse service provision, organisations offering relevant staffing solutions or consultancy could benefit from such initiatives. Large-scale organisations like Safe Steps, which have existing structures to expand their workforce or bring specialised skills into their existing framework, would be well-positioned to compete in similar service-based contracts.
The notice in full

An extra role to be included within their staffing rather than commissioning anyone else separately to provide one member of staff for 12 months, to accommodate a new service within the existing contract.
