What is being bought

Published requirement description

Milton Keynes City Council (‘the Council’) wishes to commission a suitably qualified and experienced provider of home security measures to deliver a Sanctuary Scheme for survivors of domestic abuse.

The service will seek to enable safety, prevent homelessness, and maintain stable housing through the installation of enhanced security measures (e.g. locks, bolts, chains, fire alarms/lock letter boxes) in the homes of survivors of domestic abuse, where it is deemed safe for them to remain in their homes, to so install such measures, and with consent. This will serve as an alternative to relocating away from family, friends, vital support networks and disruption of support from any professional services.

Milton Keynes City Council reserve the right not to state the contract value.
