Out of Court Resolution Domestic Abuse Intervention Programme

The procurement process titled "Out of Court Resolution Domestic Abuse Intervention Programme" was initiated by the Chief Constable of Devon and Cornwall Police. It falls under the industry category of guidance and counselling services and is classified as a service procurement. The process is based in Exeter, within the UKK region, and was conducted via an open procedure, publicly accessible to potential suppliers.

The procurement had progressed from the tender stage in September 2024, with key dates including a tender period ending on 28th October 2024, leading to an award in May 2025. The contract, valued at £300,000, was awarded to Hampton Trust, marking it as completed with all services expected to support domestic abuse intervention programmes in Devon and Cornwall. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in social services, particularly those providing guidance and counselling interventions.

Such programmes are vital, allowing businesses to engage in public safety and welfare services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) particularly stand to benefit, as demonstrated by the successful award to Hampton Trust, an SME from Southampton. Companies with a focus on domestic abuse intervention and working within legal parameters of cautions or out-of-court resolutions are well-positioned to compete in such procurements, enhancing their scope and contributing positively to societal issues.
