Evidence demonstrates that dedicated advocacy and support services improve victim wellbeing, increase engagement with investigations and prosecutions where appropriate, and help reduce the risk of victims disengaging from support or the justice process. \nA locally commissioned ISVA service will ensure that Warwickshire residents, including those from underrepresented and vulnerable communities, have equitable access to independent, confidential support that promotes recovery, strengthens safety and contributes to wider objectives relating to reducing violence against women and girls, and improving outcomes for victims of sexual violence. \nThe Service will operate across Warwickshire as part of a multi-agency response to sexual violence and abuse and will accept referrals from partner organisations, self-referrals, parental or carer referrals where appropriate, and referrals through multi-agency case allocation arrangements. \nLot 2 Year 1 funding includes multiple streams that may not be available in full or in part for the duration of the contract, the documents in the tender pack provide more detail.", "status": "active", "value": { "amountGross": 2602616, "amount": 2168847.6699999999, "currency": "GBP" }, "awardCriteria": { "weightingDescription": "The quality evaluation will assess responses against the published scoring methodology contained within the tender documents.

However, in the interests of transparency and to support a collaborative approach with prospective suppliers, the PCC has identified the following known risks that may affect contract delivery:\n•\tFunding stability – Funding for these services is determined partly by factors outside the PCC’s control. Consequently, the PCC cannot absolutely guarantee the continued availability or stability of funding throughout the contract term. Should funding be reduced, withdrawn or otherwise impacted, the PCC will work closely with the provider(s) to mitigate any adverse effects on service delivery.\n•\tMOJ funding – additional MOJ funding for ISVAs is only confirmed for year 1. The Authority will work with the provider(s) closely and agree any modifications to the Pricing Schedule if necessary.\n•\tFunding levels – Decisions regarding the level of available funding are outside the PCC’s control and can fluctuate. As such, the PCC cannot guarantee that funding will remain at the anticipated level throughout the contract term. Funding levels may increase; however, there is also a risk that they may decrease. The PCC will work collaboratively with the provider(s) to manage and minimise any negative impacts arising from changes to funding levels.\n•\tOPCC abolishment – The Government has announced its intention to abolish the PCC function. Should these proposals proceed, the parties will work collaboratively to agree and implement any necessary arrangements with the provider(s) to ensure a smooth and orderly transition and novation of the contracts.\n•\tTUPE – TUPE is a known risk within this procurement and will apply to the transfer of relevant employees if they are eligible. Providers should note that certain transferring roles may not align fully with their proposed service delivery model(s). Providers will be responsible for managing the TUPE process and all associated risks, liabilities, and compliance requirements.\nFollowing contract award and completion of the TUPE process, the PCC and the successful provider(s) will work collaboratively and in good faith to agree any reasonable and necessary amendments to the service delivery model and/or financial model arising directly from the outcome of TUPE. Any such amendments must be fully documented, appropriately evidenced, and clearly justified. TUPE data will be made available once we have received a completed 'TUPE Confidentiality Agreement' which can be found in the tender pack.\n•\tOther risks – As explicitly outlined in Tender documents regarding different sources of funding." }, "language": "en", "extensions": [ "https://standard.open-contracting.org/profiles/eu/latest/en/extension.json", "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/open-contracting-extensions/ocds_amendment_rationale_classifications_extension/master/extension.json", "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/open-contracting-extensions/ocds_budget_breakdown_extension/master/extension.json", "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/open-contracting-extensions/ocds_contract_completion_extension/master/extension.json", "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/open-contracting-extensions/ocds_documentation_extension/master/extension.json", "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/open-contracting-extensions/ocds_pagination_extension/master/extension.json", "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/open-contracting-extensions/ocds_performance_failures_extension/master/extension.json", "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/open-contracting-extensions/ocds_suitability_extension/master/extension.json", "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/portaledcahn/ocds_Links_extension/main/extension.json", "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cabinetoffice/ocds_uk_extension/main/extension.json" ] } ], "compiledRelease": { "tag": [ "compiled" ], "id": "ocds-h6vhtk-06d63e-2026-09-25T12:24:56+01:00", "date": "2026-09-25T12:24:56+01:00", "ocid": "ocds-h6vhtk-06d63e", "initiationType": "tender", "parties": [ { "id": "GB-PPON-PXNY-4251-DZLZ", "name": "The Police and Crime Commissioner for Warwickshire", "identifier": { "scheme": "GB-PPON", "id": "PXNY-4251-DZLZ" }, "address": { "streetAddress": "Warwickshire Police Headquarters", "locality": "Leek Wootton", "postalCode": "CV35 7QB", "country": "GB", "countryName": "United Kingdom", "region": "UKG13" }, "contactPoint": { "email": "procurement@warwickshire.police.uk" }, "roles": [ "buyer" ], "details": { "classifications": [ { "scheme": "UK_CA_TYPE", "id": "publicAuthoritySubCentralGovernment", "description": "Public authority - sub-central government" } ] } } ], "buyer": { "id": "GB-PPON-PXNY-4251-DZLZ", "name": "The Police and Crime Commissioner for Warwickshire" }, "planning": { "milestones": [ { "id": "engagement", "type": "engagement", "description": "Request for information (RFI) via attendance at optional Webinar and completion of Questionnaire \nTo respond to this RFI please register your interest on our tendering portal and complete the RFI questionnaire which is in the document on the tendering portal, completed questionnaires to be uploaded via tendering portal.\nLink to our tendering portal is as follows https://sell2.in-tend.co.uk/blpd/home", "dueDate": "2026-08-21T23:59:59+01:00", "status": "scheduled" } ], "documents": [ { "id": "071620-2026", "documentType": "marketEngagementNotice", "noticeType": "UK2", "description": "Preliminary market engagement notice on Find a Tender", "url": "https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/071620-2026", "datePublished": "2026-07-29T11:45:24+01:00", "format": "text/html" } ] }, "tender": { "id": "WPA26-0070", "legalBasis": { "id": "2023/54", "scheme": "UKPGA", "uri": "https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents" }, "title": "Provision of Victim Support Services", "description": "The Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) for Warwickshire invites tenders for the provision of Victim Support Services across Warwickshire.\nThe PCC seeks to commission experienced providers to deliver high-quality, accessible and specialist support services for victims and survivors of crime including family members and friends where appropriate, enabling individuals to cope with and recover from the impact of crime, access appropriate support and exercise their rights under the Victims' Code.

Should funding be reduced, withdrawn or otherwise impacted, the PCC will work closely with the provider(s) to mitigate any adverse effects on service delivery.\n•\tMOJ funding – additional MOJ funding for ISVAs is only confirmed for year 1.

As such, the PCC cannot guarantee that funding will remain at the anticipated level throughout the contract term. Funding levels may increase; however, there is also a risk that they may decrease. The PCC will work collaboratively with the provider(s) to manage and minimise any negative impacts arising from changes to funding levels.\n•\tOPCC abolishment – The Government has announced its intention to abolish the PCC function. Should these proposals proceed, the parties will work collaboratively to agree and implement any necessary arrangements with the provider(s) to ensure a smooth and orderly transition and novation of the contracts.\n•\tTUPE – TUPE is a known risk within this procurement and will apply to the transfer of relevant employees if they are eligible. Providers should note that certain transferring roles may not align fully with their proposed service delivery model(s). Providers will be responsible for managing the TUPE process and all associated risks, liabilities, and compliance requirements.\nFollowing contract award and completion of the TUPE process, the PCC and the successful provider(s) will work collaboratively and in good faith to agree any reasonable and necessary amendments to the service delivery model and/or financial model arising directly from the outcome of TUPE. Any such amendments must be fully documented, appropriately evidenced, and clearly justified. TUPE data will be made available once we have received a completed 'TUPE Confidentiality Agreement' which can be found in the tender pack.\n•\tOther risks – As explicitly outlined in Tender documents regarding different sources of funding." }, "language": "en", "extensions": [ "https://standard.open-contracting.org/profiles/eu/latest/en/extension.json", "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/open-contracting-extensions/ocds_amendment_rationale_classifications_extension/master/extension.json", "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/open-contracting-extensions/ocds_budget_breakdown_extension/master/extension.json", "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/open-contracting-extensions/ocds_contract_completion_extension/master/extension.json", "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/open-contracting-extensions/ocds_documentation_extension/master/extension.json", "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/open-contracting-extensions/ocds_pagination_extension/master/extension.json", "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/open-contracting-extensions/ocds_performance_failures_extension/master/extension.json", "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/open-contracting-extensions/ocds_suitability_extension/master/extension.json", "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/portaledcahn/ocds_Links_extension/main/extension.json", "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cabinetoffice/ocds_uk_extension/main/extension.json" ] }, "versionedRelease": { "ocid": "ocds-h6vhtk-06d63e", "initiationType": [ { "releaseID": "071620-2026", "releaseDate": "2026-07-29T11:45:24+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": "tender" } ], "parties": [ { "id": "GB-PPON-PXNY-4251-DZLZ", "name": [ { "releaseID": "071620-2026", "releaseDate": "2026-07-29T11:45:24+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": "The Police and Crime Commissioner for Warwickshire" } ], "identifier": { "scheme": [ { "releaseID": "071620-2026", "releaseDate": "2026-07-29T11:45:24+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": "GB-PPON" } ], "id": [ { "releaseID": "071620-2026", "releaseDate": "2026-07-29T11:45:24+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": "PXNY-4251-DZLZ" } ] }, "address": { "streetAddress": [ { "releaseID": "071620-2026", "releaseDate": "2026-07-29T11:45:24+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": "Warwickshire Police Headquarters" } ], "locality": [ { "releaseID": "071620-2026", "releaseDate": "2026-07-29T11:45:24+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": "Leek Wootton" } ], "postalCode": [ { "releaseID": "071620-2026", "releaseDate": "2026-07-29T11:45:24+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": "CV35 7QB" } ], "country": [ { "releaseID": "071620-2026", "releaseDate": "2026-07-29T11:45:24+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": "GB" } ], "countryName": [ { "releaseID": "071620-2026", "releaseDate": "2026-07-29T11:45:24+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": "United Kingdom" } ], "region": [ { "releaseID": "071620-2026", "releaseDate": "2026-07-29T11:45:24+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": "UKG13" } ] }, "contactPoint": { "email": [ { "releaseID": "071620-2026", "releaseDate": "2026-07-29T11:45:24+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": "procurement@warwickshire.police.uk" } ] }, "roles": [ { "releaseID": "071620-2026", "releaseDate": "2026-07-29T11:45:24+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": [ "buyer" ] } ], "details": { "classifications": [ { "releaseID": "071620-2026", "releaseDate": "2026-07-29T11:45:24+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": [ { "scheme": "UK_CA_TYPE", "id": "publicAuthoritySubCentralGovernment", "description": "Public authority -

However, in the interests of transparency and to support a collaborative approach with prospective suppliers, the PCC has identified the following known risks that may affect contract delivery:\n•\tFunding stability – Funding for these services is determined partly by factors outside the PCC’s control. Consequently, the PCC cannot absolutely guarantee the continued availability or stability of funding throughout the contract term. Should funding be reduced, withdrawn or otherwise impacted, the PCC will work closely with the provider(s) to mitigate any adverse effects on service delivery.\n•\tMOJ funding – additional MOJ funding for ISVAs is only confirmed for year 1. The Authority will work with the provider(s) closely and agree any modifications to the Pricing Schedule if necessary.\n•\tFunding levels – Decisions regarding the level of available funding are outside the PCC’s control and can fluctuate. As such, the PCC cannot guarantee that funding will remain at the anticipated level throughout the contract term. Funding levels may increase; however, there is also a risk that they may decrease. The PCC will work collaboratively with the provider(s) to manage and minimise any negative impacts arising from changes to funding levels.\n•\tOPCC abolishment – The Government has announced its intention to abolish the PCC function. Should these proposals proceed, the parties will work collaboratively to agree and implement any necessary arrangements with the provider(s) to ensure a smooth and orderly transition and novation of the contracts.\n•\tTUPE – TUPE is a known risk within this procurement and will apply to the transfer of relevant employees if they are eligible. Providers should note that certain transferring roles may not align fully with their proposed service delivery model(s). Providers will be responsible for managing the TUPE process and all associated risks, liabilities, and compliance requirements.\nFollowing contract award and completion of the TUPE process, the PCC and the successful provider(s) will work collaboratively and in good faith to agree any reasonable and necessary amendments to the service delivery model and/or financial model arising directly from the outcome of TUPE. Any such amendments must be fully documented, appropriately evidenced, and clearly justified. TUPE data will be made available once we have received a completed 'TUPE Confidentiality Agreement' which can be found in the tender pack.\n•\tOther risks – As explicitly outlined in Tender documents regarding different sources of funding." } ] }, "language": [ { "releaseID": "071620-2026", "releaseDate": "2026-07-29T11:45:24+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": "en" } ], "extensions": [ { "releaseID": "071620-2026", "releaseDate": "2026-07-29T11:45:24+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": [ "https://standard.open-contracting.org/profiles/eu/latest/en/extension.json", "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/open-contracting-extensions/ocds_amendment_rationale_classifications_extension/master/extension.json", "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/open-contracting-extensions/ocds_budget_breakdown_extension/master/extension.json", "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/open-contracting-extensions/ocds_contract_completion_extension/master/extension.json", "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/open-contracting-extensions/ocds_documentation_extension/master/extension.json", "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/open-contracting-extensions/ocds_pagination_extension/master/extension.json", "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/open-contracting-extensions/ocds_performance_failures_extension/master/extension.json", "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/open-contracting-extensions/ocds_suitability_extension/master/extension.json", "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/portaledcahn/ocds_Links_extension/main/extension.json", "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cabinetoffice/ocds_uk_extension/main/extension.json" ] } ] } } ] }
