## Description
Monmouthshire County Council is preparing to recommission their VAWDASV Housing Related Floating Support and Refuge services, and is issuing this notice to update the market on its intentions for the forthcoming procurement.  The purpose of this notice is to provide potential bidders with advance information on the anticipated values, timetable and market event arrangements.  Your involvement will also help to inform the proposed service model and specification.
Background and Purpose
The Council is seeking to recommission an integrated model of housing-related support for both men and women who are at risk of, or experiencing domestic abuse.  The proposed model is intended to strengthen domestic abuse and homelessness prevention, and improve the quality of support delivered to this client group in Monmouthshire.
Proposed Contract Lots (subject to change)
The Council anticipates tendering two separate contract Lots:
Lot 1 Floating Support, Advice and Prevention, including early intervention and crisis support for both men and women who are at risk of, or experiencing domestic abuse.
Also includes a Domestic Abuse Screening Officer.
Approx. £250,000 per annum
Lot 2 Refuge Accommodation for women and families who are fleeing domestic abuse and need emergency accommodation.
5 units of refuge accommodation for families, 2 units of dispersed accommodation for single women.
Approx. £120,000 per annum
The values stated above are indicative and subject to final approval, confirmation of available funding, affordability within approved budgets and the final procurement documentation.

Contract Duration
The proposed contracts are expected to commence on 1st July 2027 for an initial term of three years, with the option to extend for up to a further two periods of 12 months each, giving a maximum possible contract term of five years.
