GMCA1480 Delivering Call to Evidence: Victim of Crime Sector Engagement Facilitator - To Support the Greater Manchester Victims' Strategic Needs Assessment

Following a competitive procurement exercise, GMCA has awarded a contract for the provision of Delivering Call to Evidence: Victim of Crime Sector Engagement Facilitator - To Support the Greater Manchester Victims' Strategic Needs Assessment.

The successful provider is required to engage with the sector and develop our understanding of current demand and service quality, identify gaps in provision, highlight where there is best practice and carry out a comprehensive review of the services we currently commission. This is to inform future funding of services which support victims of crime.

We are also seeking support in understanding the victim / witness experience by carrying out a range of engagement / listening exercises with the sector and victims and witnesses with lived experience themselves.

This research is crucial in order to ensure funding is used in the best way possible, delivering value for money. It is important that the work considers our ambitions for victims in Greater Manchester outlined in the Gender-Based Violence Strategy, Standing Together Plan and the Greater Manchester Strategy. It is particularly important to us that services reflect the diversity of our communities in Greater Manchester.
