Violence Against Women, Domestic Abuse and Sexual Violence (VAWDASV)

Description

Cardiff Council is seeking to recommission its current arrangements for specialist service for female victims of violence against women, domestic abuse and sexual violence – called RISE Cardiff. In April 2018 Cardiff Council implemented a newly commissioned specialist service for female victims of violence against women, domestic abuse and sexual violence. This comprehensive service replaced the previous arrangements. This 24/7 service sought to deliver a range of preventative, supportive, and therapeutic services to victims and their children (aged 0 – 18) across the city, allowing a more innovative approach to service delivery, whilst also allowing for flexibility and service variation where a need was identified. The Council has recently undertaken a thorough review of the RISE Service including an independent review undertaken by Homeless Link. The Council now wishes to alleviate some of the pressures identified in delivering such a large contract by commissioning separate, specialist services. Cardiff Council is seeking to tender for four services under the Violence Against Women, Domestic Abuse and Sexual Violence (VAWDASV) agenda. One tender will be issued for the four services, with a separate contract being awarded per service. These services have been divided into the following Lots: Lot 1 - Front Door (Advice and Prevention Support) Lot 2 - Safe Accommodation for Victims of VAWDASV Lot 3 - CYP Specialist Support Lot 4 - Early Years Support (VAWDASV) Cardiff is a multicultural City and as part of the service delivery for all above contracts, there will be an expectation of accommodation and support for people from diverse backgrounds, including black and minority ethnic backgrounds within the service. A market engagement event will be held in the afternoon of Friday, 29th November 2024 in County Hall, Cardiff, CF10 4UW. If you are interested in attending the event, please provide an expression of interest to supportingpeople@cardiff.gov.uk stating your name, contact information and the organisation you are representing by 12 noon on Thursday, 28th November. Please note there is a maximum of two representatives who are allowed to attend on behalf of each organisation.
