Summary of the contracting process
Falkirk Council, in collaboration with the Falkirk Health and Social Care Partnership, has awarded a contract for the provision of domestic abuse support services to black and minority ethnic (BME) service users. The industry category falls under general public services, and the service is to be delivered in the region of UKM76.
This procurement process is in the award stage as of 28th January 2025, with the contract signed on 4th December 2024. The procurement method used was a limited procedure, allowing for the award without prior publication of a call for competition, in compliance with the Procurement Reform Scotland Act 2014.
Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) focused on addressing domestic abuse, honour-based abuse, dowry abuse, forced marriage, and female genital mutilation (FGM) can find growth opportunities by providing targeted support to the BME community. Shakti Women’s Aid, the awarded supplier, reflects the need for organisations with specialised knowledge in supporting marginalised groups, highlighting the value of bespoke services in public contracts.

Falkirk Council and the Falkirk Health and Social Care Partnership are seeking to provide a consistent and coherent response to individuals affected by domestic abuse. The aim of the service is to support black and minority ethnic (BME) individuals affected by domestic abuse, based on current best evidence for family recovery and support in a trauma-informed responsive practice.
People who experience or have experienced domestic abuse, 'honour' based abuse, dowry abuse, forced marriage and/or female genital mutilation (FGM) can receive support from Specialist Support Services. The terminology of BME communities has been superseded by the terminology 'global majority' by Scottish government.
For this contract, the terminology BME will continue to be used to reflect that service representation and need for BME communities remains underrepresented within falkirk council and that the population of BME people locally remains a minority and therefore additional consideration is required to be able to adequately meet the needs for these individuals..
The Procurement Reform Scotland Act 2014 applies to contracts for services with a value above 50,000 GBP and below the Procurement Thresholds for Goods and Services. Regulation 12(1) of the Act permits the award of a contract for a health or social care service without seeking offers in relation to the proposed contract.
