Summary, notice description and lot information

This initiative, linked with Cheshire Constabulary, aims to partner with a provider to deliver interventions over an 18-month period starting 9th February 2026. The procurement has reached the contract award stage, with a pending award notice given on 3rd December 2025.
The programme seeks to address domestic abuse in the region by reducing offending among high-risk perpetrators. This contract, valued at £1.6 million annually, leverages grant funding allocated for the fiscal years 2025-2026 and 2026-2027, with options for extension not guaranteed. Organisations interested in accessing tender documents should register on the Bluelight e-Procurement Portal.
The standstill period is set to end on 16th December 2025, and contract modification clauses provide flexibility to adapt to emerging needs of the Drive programme. This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in training programme services, health and social work, counselling, and community health services sectors. It presents a prime opportunity for large-scale social enterprises and providers capable of delivering intensive case management and multi-agency responses to disrupt abuse.
Businesses that excel in managing sensitive data, multi-agency coordination, and embedding social value into operations will find this procurement particularly aligned with their competencies. Organisations participating will have the chance to contribute to reducing domestic abuse in Cheshire and delivering long-term, sustainable change, potentially cementing their regional legacy in social welfare and community safety advancements.
UK6 Award notice - Standstill period is expected to end on 16th December 2025 Cheshire Constabulary would like to partner with a Provider to deliver a 'Drive' Domestic Abuse Perpetrator Intervention across Cheshire for an initial 18- month period. Funding to the PCC for Cheshire has been confirmed for the initial mobilisation and delivery of The Drive Project for the financial years 2025-2026 and 2026-27, however the exact allocation of funding is yet to be advised and in addition, will be pro-rated for year 1. Each year more than 100,000 people in the UK are at high and imminent risk of being murdered or seriously injured because of domestic abuse.
Services rightly focus on meeting the needs of victims, but too often perpetrators are not held to account, and their abusive behaviour continues. Less than 1% of perpetrators get a specialist intervention that might prevent future abusive behaviour and as a result there is a high level of repeat victimization with the same victim or future partners / family members. To deliver long term sustainable change and reduce the number of victims - we must challenge perpetrators to stop.
The intervention seeks to reduce offending in a high risk, high harm cohort of perpetrators. The anticipated contract value of PS1.6m provided in this notice is based on the maximum annual allocation of funding for a full year of delivery, multiplied up to match the maximum contract duration. Year 1 funding will be pro-rata'd, however the actual amounts for year 1 and year 2 are yet to be confirmed.
As this is grant funding, extension for years 3 and/or 4 and values are not guaranteed. Preliminary market engagement has not been conducted for this procurement, therefore a UK2 preliminary market engagement notice is not applicable.
