• Enable women and children affected by domestic violence to rebuild their lives and make the transition
to a settled home and to training or employment.

The total contract value, over the potential five-year contractual period, including extension options is
£421,490.00. The maximum contract value per annum is therefore, £84,298.00. The Open Procedure is
to be used and is in direct relation to FTS Notice reference 2022/S 000-031487
