LIGHT TOUCH REGIME
"The Council is conducting this procurement using Public Contract Regulations 2015; however, the Council will exercise its right to deviate from the formalities of the procedure given the flexibilities permitted by Regulation 76 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (as amended) in the conduct of procurements for "light regime" services."
The services are LTR services, and the Council will be taking advantage of the flexibility available under LTR.
This is a single provider framework agreement. The services described in this section reflect the requirements to provide the core support offer to victims of domestic abuse in Gloucestershire aged 16 and older across a continuum of need from early intervention and prevention through to provision of Independent Domestic Violence Advisors (IDVAs) for victims at high risk.
The services described in this section reflect the requirements to provide support to victims of domestic abuse in Gloucestershire aged 16 and older who need or are accessing safe accommodation1, and may include co-location within safe accommodation, the housing sector or housing services where specified at call-off.
Services called off under this Lot will be subject to ongoing availability of central government grant funding to support the council in meeting its statutory duties to provide support in domestic abuse safe accommodation under Part 4 of the Domestic Abuse Act 2021. Additional services may be called off under this Lot should further funding be made available e.g., via another central government grant. Each call-off will specify the term and budget agreed at the call-off negotiation stage.
For the purposes of this specification, safe accommodation is as defined within the statutory guidance (and future call offs will reflect any amendments to this definition). Commissioners will advise the provider of eligible safe accommodation provision in the county, as applicable to the delivery of support within safe accommodation.
This opportunity is divided into 5 lots and bids must be submitted for all 5 lots.
