Scope
Description
NHS Arden and Greater East Midlands CSU on behalf of NHS Birmingham and Solihull Integrated Care Board (BSol ICB) are seeking suitably qualified and experienced organisations to express an interest in providing a Primary Care Domestic Violence and Abuse Service. The current IRIS provision is centred on the provision of services to women. In addition, not all areas of the Birmingham and Solihull footprint are currently covered. This has resulted in the creation of inequalities in terms of the service which need to be addressed going forward. BSol ICB intend to commission a Primary Care Domestic Violence and Abuse Service that is open to all victims or potential victims (both female and male) of domestic violence and abuse (DVA) across the BSol ICB footprint that are aged 16 and over. The new service will therefore need to: - Ensure all geographies across the Birmingham and Solihull footprint have equal service provision - Ensure all citizens have equality of access, enabling men to access the service as well as women - Ensure that any required referral pathways are well thought through and do not introduce potential barriers to access whether these are perceived or real. Patients aged under 16 years witnessing or experiencing DVA should be managed by the practice in accordance with BSol ICB Safeguarding Children procedures. Patients who have disclosed past or present domestic abuse will be referred by participating general practice staff. In some circumstances they may also refer patients where domestic abuse is suspected. Interested organisations are invited to access and complete the relevant tender documentation by visiting https://atamis-1928.my.site.com/s/Welcome and searching for the Primary Care Domestic Violence and Abuse Service - Birmingham and Solihull ICB ref: C357208. Tenders must be submitted by 08th July 2025 at noon 1200hrs.
