itt_118197 - DPP2512 - High-Risk Domestic Abuse Perpetrator Support (DRIVE Programme)

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Dyfed-Powys, along with the Police and Crime Commissioner for North Wales, have initiated an open procurement process for the delivery of the DRIVE Programme, which provides support for high-risk domestic abuse perpetrators. This tender, ID DPP2512, is under the services category with a focus on health and social work services. The procurement is split into two lots, covering regions in South and North Wales.

The submission deadline for expressions of interest is 15th September 2025, with enquiry submissions closing on 11th September 2025. The contract is set to commence on 1st January 2026, concluding on 31st March 2027. The programme aims to significantly reduce domestic abuse and is seeking service providers capable of addressing high-harm cases across multiple regions.

The overall contract carries a value of £676,800, with funding evenly distributed between the two police authorities. This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses skilled in social work, health services, and domestic abuse intervention to expand their operations within public service contracts in Wales. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) as well as voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly encouraged to participate, given the drive to include social value in the technical evaluation, which comprises 70% of the award criteria, with commercial considerations accounting for the remaining 30%.

This initiative is ideal for organisations that can provide comprehensive support services that not only meet the commissioning requirements but also contribute to broader social outcomes. Interested bidders will need to demonstrate their ability to implement the DRIVE programme effectively within the defined geographical scope and align with the public authorities’ objectives to protect and support vulnerable populations.
