Description

The Metropolitan Police Service are holding a Market Engagement Event on Tuesday 17th December 2024 (9:30-11:00) to discuss a forthcoming tender opportunity for the provision of Independent Domestic Advisor (IDVA) and Independent Sexual Violence Advisor (IDSA) Services to Employees.

Following the introduction of the MPS' Employee DA Policy in 2019, the MPS has funded an employee IDVA service to support colleagues experiencing domestic abuse. This was reinforced with an additional ISVA service in 2022. This service has continued and further committed to within the VAWG Action plan and the recent pledge to victims of police perpetrated domestic abuse and sexual offences.

The MPS is inviting suitably qualified providers of IDVA and ISVA services to tender for a new three-year contract commencing in April 2025. The provider will have a proven track record of supporting employees within medium and large organisations. They will be familiar with the unique barriers that DA and SV victims face when reporting colleagues and will ideally have experience of supporting victims of police perpetrated offences.

If you would like to attend this Market Engagement Event please contact Jo Frodhe (jo.frodhe@met.police.uk) to receive an invitation to the event, which will be hosted on Microsoft Teams.
