What is being bought

Supply £25000.00 The Flexible Fund forms part of the requirements of the domestic abuse contract and was written into the specification. A decision was taken not to include it in the contract value as this may fluctuate and it was agreed that each local authority would pay this directly to the successful provider. This is a pot which provides funding to support victims of domestic abuse to seek or sustain safe accommodation with ad hoc requirements to ensure their safety and aid their recovery. This followed a full commissioning process with Essex County Council holding the contract.
