Support for Victims of Modern Slavery (SVMS) Contract

Modern Slavery is an umbrella term that encompasses human trafficking, slavery, servitude and forced or compulsory labour. It cruelly destroys the lives of victims who are exploited by criminals for profit, often in seemingly legitimate businesses. The Modern Slavery Unit, within the Home Office's Modern Slavery Directorate, is responsible for leading the Government's response to modern slavery. Modern slavery is a barbaric crime that dehumanises people for profit. The Government is committed to tackling it in all its forms and to giving survivors the support and certainty they need to recover. The UK is committed to meeting its obligations and to providing effective support to ensure that victims are assisted in their recovery from their experiences of exploitation or trafficking. These obligations are currently met through the Modern Slavery Victim Care Contract (MSVCC) which provides specialist support to adult victims of exploitation and trafficking identified through the NRM in England and Wales, as well as support delivered through wider state services. The new Support for Victims of Modern Slavery (SVMS) contract will replace the MSVCC. The SVMS service will lift modern slavery victims out of exploitation, keep them safe, and provide temporary tailored needs-based support to assist them in their recovery and reduce their risk of re-exploitation. It will be innovative, flexible, responsive to demand, and adaptive to the needs of service users. It will facilitate the smooth transition of Service Users out of the service when contracted support is no longer required, through alignment with other statutory services and productive partnerships with statutory and non-statutory organisations. It will harness new data and technology advancements to support Service Users and deliver contract efficiency. The following key pillars and enablers will be required as part of SVMS service provision. Support worker: each Service User is assigned a Support Worker who plays a central role in their recovery. Support Workers complete the assessment process, develop Support Plans and conduct monthly support meetings with Service Users to review progress and adjust support as needed. This includes providing referrals, advocacy and access to services across social, legal, psychological and health domains. Support Workers operate to defined minimum standards to ensure a high quality and consistent level of support across all cases, receive enhanced, trauma-informed training and have access to specialist resources for complex cases. Emphasis is placed on consistency of care, ensuring that Service Users experience reliable and coordinated support across geographical areas. Suppliers shall respond to the needs of staff, ensuring their safety and supporting their overall well-being. Accommodation: Service Users at risk of re-exploitation or destitution can access safe accommodation that meets their needs and level of independence. A range of shared single sex, family and individual units will be available, which must meet minimum standards stipulated in the Authority's requirements and be regularly and well maintained. A transport service safely transports Service Users to the accommodation and on to alternative accommodation when they are required to exit. Most service users will not require accommodation from the service and will receive outreach support. Financial support: Service Users will be paid means-tested financial support payments to meet their essential living needs and recovery needs. A deposit grant and move-in funding is available to help eligible Service Users secure suitable long-term accommodation. Psychological assistance: Service Users are entitled to psychological assistance, including a Mental Health Assessment by a qualified healthcare professional. Should the assessor deem local NHS service wait times do not align to the urgency of the identified need, the Service User would be in scope to receive short-term therapeutic support. This support is documented in a Psychological Support Plan. Referrals are made by Support Workers, and therapy is primarily delivered remotely to increase accessibility. Digital tools and technology: The service includes digital solutions to enhance accessibility and engagement, including streamlined data capture and sharing across the contract, automated translation and interpretation, a victim portal for Service Users to access personal information and track progress, and a resource hub with information on rights, entitlements, and external services. The Supplier will design, maintain, and report on these systems as part of monitoring and evaluation. Partnership working across the supply chain and a range of external support providers and stakeholders such as local authorities, job centres, GPs and asylum support services will ensure Service Users can access longer-term support pathways and transition to independence outside the service. Full details of the Authority's requirements are available by accessing the Home Office Jaggaer site signposted in this notice.

Social Impact Framework

Prior Notice Published: UK-0339 The East of England NHS Collaborative Procurement Hub intends to establish a multi-lot framework agreement to support the commissioning of services that address health inequalities and the wider determinants of health. The framework will offer a compliant, structured route for NHS organisations, Integrated Care Boards (ICBs), local authorities, and other public sector bodies to procure community-based services. It is designed to strengthen collaboration with VCSEs, SMEs, and specialist providers, with the aim of improving early access to support and reducing pressure on acute services. The framework focuses on three core themes: Voice & Influence: Enabling people and communities to shape services, exercise choice, and be active participants in decision-making. Community-Led Services for Social Impact: Supporting services led by local organisations and people, with a focus on addressing needs identified by the community. Prevention & Cessation: Commissioning services that focus on prevention, early intervention, and supporting people to make positive changes, reducing demand for crisis or acute care. Services may include, but are not limited to, support with mental health, housing, employment, financial inclusion, domestic abuse, and wider prevention services. The framework will be open to all eligible providers across the UK and will operate as an open framework under the Procurement Act 2023.
