West Midlands Sexual Assault and Abuse Strategy

NHS England has partnered with the West Midlands Police and Crime Commissioner to implement a three-year West Midlands Sexual Assault and Abuse Strategy. This strategy aims to coordinate and deliver initiatives that support the national sexual assault and abuse services (SAAS) strategy across local health and criminal justice partners. The procurement was carried out through a limited negotiated procedure without prior publication and falls under the community health services category (CPV code 85323000) with an additional classification in the community action programme (CPV code 85322000).

The tender was completed with key dates including a tender period end on 25th February 2025, and the contract period spans from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2028. Located in Leeds (LS1 4AP) and coordinated across England, the project has a total value of £150,000. This tender represents a significant opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), specifically those experienced in community health services and public health initiatives.

Businesses that can provide specialised services in sexual assault support and have the capability to collaborate with both health and criminal justice sectors will find this contract especially advantageous. Engaging in such a strategic partnership with NHS England and West Midlands Police not only boosts credibility but also provides a stable, multi-year project that can drive business growth and enhance industry standing.
