Description
This opportunity is for a Provider Panel for Domestic Abuse By and For Services.
Domestic Abuse By and For Services are specialist services for minoritised groups whose services are designed and delivered by people that share the same protected characteristic/s as the people they aim to serve. As a minimum any organisation that provides a By and For Service should ensure that the front-line staff (those that are service user facing and actually provide the service) are from the minoritised group that they serve. In addition there must be clear and meaningful representation and leadership from person/persons from the minoritised group in terms of the service design and management.
The Provider Panel is to be made of multiple providers (on a non-exclusive basis). Further details regarding the service requirements may be found in ITT Document 2, Service Specification.
There are no restrictions to the number of Providers who may be members of the Provider Panel, only that they meet all the requirements of this Invitation to Tender and Service Specification.
The Council reserves the right to allow any additional Bidder(s) to apply to join the Provider Panel at a future date at the Council's sole discretion provided that they fully meet the essential criteria contained in this tender.
The proposed contract is to be let with an option to extend for a further 2 period of 12 months from the actual end date, subject to funding, budget and commissioner approval.
