What is being bought

Published requirement description

To ensure a robust and transparent process took place, the OPCC circulated the needs assessment template to Local Authority Commissioners and providers of Domestic Abuse and Sexual Violence Services. The opportunity was also put on the OPCC website, advertised via social media and we also personally reached out to all of the DA ‘buy and for’ services that were identified through the DA needs assessment. To ensure a robust and transparent process took place, Gloucestershire OPCC circulated the needs assessment template to Local Authority Commissioners and providers of Domestic Abuse and Sexual Violence Services.

The bids were collated and prioritised in conversation with local commissioners and DA/SV police colleagues with specialist knowledge in this field.

In March 2022, the Ministry of Justice announced its intention to distribute £15.7m ring fenced funding for domestic abuse and sexual violence support services nationally. This is multi-year funding to cover a period of three years, to be allocated following a local needs assessment process. To ensure a robust and transparent process took place, the OPCC circulated the needs assessment template to Local Authority Commissioners and providers of Domestic Abuse and Sexual Violence Services. The opportunity was also put on the OPCC website, advertised via social media and we also personally reached out to all of the DA ‘buy and for’ services that were identified through the DA needs assessment.

The bids were collated and prioritised based on need by the OPCC & local commissioners. In total, a bid of £ 339,608 was submitted to the Ministry of Justice. The OPCC has now been informed that the Ministry of Justice has allocated Gloucestershire OPCC £241,307.53 per annum for 2022/23, 2023/24 and 2024/25.

Using local data on need and demand for services, priority was equally given to providers of SV/ DA, we have ensured that support was also considered for children and young people. Consideration has also been given to local services and existing waiting lists.

Full evaluation and prioritisation was undertaken based upon the funding bids received by the OPCC and as the MoJ have confirmed they are happy for the OPCC to Fund "As they see fit" then said evaluation and prioritisation will be used to determine funding received in lieu of Full open tender process (all funding streams are below the Light Touch Regime Threshold)
