Buyer: Kent County Council
Title: SS16041 - Domestic Abuse Support Services
Summary:
The Opportunity
This service will be tendered as four area based contracts, and will be split into geographic areas which will be:
Area 1 – Thanet and Dover
Area 2 – Canterbury, Ashford and Shepway
Area 3 – Swale, Maidstone, Dartford and Gravesham
Area 4 – Sevenoaks, Tunbridge Wells and Tonbridge & Malling
Each service will incorporate an accommodation based offer to include refuges and other suitable housing options, community based support and a prevention and early intervention element. The service will, additionally, be expected to work closely with other suitable organisations to ensure that victims of domestic abuse are offered appropriate support to meet a range of needs.
The service will be expected to work within the contracted budget, managing demand and the service offer based on the level of risk and need of individual clients, developing and enhancing the support offer to those at standard/ medium risk of harm, and those identified as ‘hard to reach’.
Services commissioned by KCC will be expected to work closely with the countywide Referral, Assessment and Triage Service to ensure that clients receive seamless, prompt and appropriate support, as well as working together to identify trends and changing needs. Working with commissioners and partners, service providers will then collaboratively develop the service offer to meet these needs in the most appropriate manner.
Some district and borough local authorities are separately commissioning community support services, and these contracts are expected to work closely with the providers of these services to ensure seamless and appropriate support provision.
