Description

The Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner for North Wales (Commissioners) are welcoming tender applications for the contract of three sub-regional Independent Domestic Violence Advisory (IDVA) services.
The Contractor shall provide a single IDVA Service across the North Wales Force area. The IDVAs shall work to address the safety of people at high risk of domestic abuse from intimate partners, ex-partners and family members to secure their safety and the safety of their children. Operating as the primary point of contact, IDVAs typically work with their clients from the point of crisis to assess the risk, review options, and develop and implement plans to address their immediate safety, as well as longer-term solutions.
The service will increase safety and reduce the long-term impact to victims, improve outcomes and adopt a whole family approach to risk management by working in partnership with relevant organisations.
We have an expectation of a high level of partnership-working and welcome a consortium approach to project delivery. If a consortium bid is submitted, one provider must function as a lead contractor, and they will be accountable for all elements of delivery, monitoring and funding.
This tender process concerns a contract for a criminal justice focused Independent Domestic Violence Advisory (IDVA) service for the Police and Crime Commissioner for North Wales (the "Commissioner"). The Commissioner is leading the commissioning of the service in the North Wales Police force areas on behalf of the Police and Crime Commissioner for North Wales, the Violence Against Women and Girls and Sexual Violence (VAWDASV) Regional Team and local authority partners.
The budget has been confirmed for year 1 of the contract.

The tender comprises of 4 lots:
Lot 1: Western - Anglesey and Gwynedd
Lot 2: Central - Conwy and Denbighshire
Lot 3: Eastern - Flintshire and Wrexham
Lot 4: All North Wales Police Force Areas (the 6 North Wales Counties)
Tenderers may bid for all or one or more lots.
