Domestic Abuse Services for Victims and Survivors 2026-2033

Domestic abuse has significant and devastating impacts on the health and wellbeing of victims, survivors and their families. It is a widespread crime that includes violence, controlling or coercive behaviour, economic abuse, psychological or emotional abuse. It is estimated that in the last year, more than 52,000 people over the age of 16 and 43,000 children and young people were subjected to domestic abuse in Hampshire. Hampshire County Council commissions specialist domestic abuse services in line with its duties under the Domestic Abuse Act 2021. Under the Act, the Council must ensure that specialist domestic abuse support is available to victims and survivors of domestic abuse and their children in safe accommodation. Safe accommodation is a term that is used to cover: • refuges - single sex accommodation, generally women-only which is usually shared accommodation in a single premises; • sanctuary schemes - enhanced security measures to enable victims and survivors of abuse to remain safely in their own homes; and • dispersed accommodation - self-contained accommodation which is accessible to a more diverse population than refuges. The contract start date includes a mobilisation period from the 1st August 2025 until the 31st March 2026 with an Operational Service Commencement date of the 1st April 2026. The potential maximum value for the contract is given in section 1.1 of this ITT. The initial funding for the 3 lots for the full term including extensions is: • Lot 1 - £12,670,000 • Lot 2 - £14,700,000 • Lot 3 - £1,365,000 The Authority may receive additional funding relating to Domestic Abuse Services, throughout the life of the contract, and will be seeking to use any additional funding with the contracted service providers. The Authority also requires the successful provider/s to proactively seek additional funding opportunities that can also be used to enhance the service. Sources for additional funding include but are not limited to: • Home Office • Central Government • Local Government (e.g. Children’s Services etc.) • Clinical Commissioning Groups • Ministry of Justice • Ministry of Housing • NHS • Office of Police & Crime Commissioner • Hampshire Constabulary In recognition of the opportunity for additional funding throughout the life of the contract, the advertised value of this contract is over and above the contract values stated in 1.1. This is to allow the Authority to add additional Domestic Abuse related services with the contracted provider/s resulting from these funding opportunities. TUPE may apply to these services. Suppliers should see the additional details regarding TUPE in Annex 6 and ensure they comply with the instructions in that document to ensure that they submit a valid tender. • Lot 1 is an accommodation based lot. Where landlords have indicated to the Council that they are willing to make properties available to the successful tenderer, tenderers can contact the Council via the correspondence function of intend and the Council will share this information.
