What is being bought4 lots · detail below
Published requirement descriptionThe Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) for Warwickshire invites tenders for the provision of Victim Support Services across Warwickshire.
The PCC seeks to commission experienced providers to deliver high-quality, accessible and specialist support services for victims and survivors of crime including family members and friends where appropriate, enabling individuals to cope with and recover from the impact of crime, access appropriate support and exercise their rights under the Victims' Code. Services will contribute to the PCC's wider priorities of supporting victims and survivors, protecting vulnerable people, improving access to justice, reducing violence against women and girls, reducing inequalities in access to support and improving wellbeing and recovery outcomes.
The requirement is divided into four lots:
- Lot 1 – Multi Crime Victim Service
- Lot 2 – Sexual Violence Support Service
- Lot 3 – Child Exploitation Support Service
- Lot 4 – Slavery and Exploitation Support Service
Bidders may tender for a single lot or multiple lots.
Across the four lots, the PCC is seeking services that provide appropriate specialist support according to the needs and circumstances of victims and survivors. Services will be expected to provide equitable access to support across Warwickshire, manage demand, capacity and risk effectively, and work collaboratively with relevant statutory, criminal justice, health, safeguarding and voluntary and community sector partners.
The successful provider(s) will be expected to have relevant experience and expertise appropriate to the lot(s) for which they tender and to provide suitably skilled, trained and resilient workforces. Providers will be required to maintain robust safeguarding arrangements and deliver inclusive services capable of responding appropriately to vulnerability and the differing needs of individuals accessing support.
The contracts will be awarded for an initial period of three (3) years, commencing 1 April 2027, with an option to extend for up to a further two (2) years, subject to funding availability.
Funding is allocated separately to each lot and is subject to the applicable funding terms and conditions. Suppliers should note that some funding streams are confirmed for limited periods only and funding levels may change during the contract period. Any underspent funding must be returned to the Authority and/or relevant funding body in accordance with the applicable funding conditions. Full details of the funding arrangements for each lot are contained within the procurement documents. Contract values provided are indicative and dependent on VAT status of successful bidder(s).

The Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) for Warwickshire is seeking to appoint a suitably experienced Provider to deliver a county-wide General Multi-Crime Victim Support Service.
This Service shall provide a free, effective, trauma-informed and person-centred response for victims and survivors of crime.

The Service shall provide:
- Initial advice and support;
- Triage assessment and identification of need;
- Practical and emotional support;
- Information, guidance and advocacy;
- Support with the completion of Victim Personal Statements;
- Liaison with Witness Care services;

Lot #2Sexual Violence Support ServiceRenewalPublished value£2,168,848
The Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) for Warwickshire is seeking to appoint a suitably experienced Provider or consortium to directly provide practical, emotional and therapeutic support and advocacy for victims and survivors of sexual violence or sexual abuse, using a trauma-informed approach in order to help them cope and recover.
The Service will principally support children and young people aged 5 to 17 years and adults aged 18 years and over, with additional transition support provided to those aged 18 to 25 years where this is necessary and beneficial, subject to their consent. The Service will also be flexible to provide support, where needed, to wider family members, partners and other key people in the life of a victim or survivor.
The provision of an Independent Sexual Violence Adviser (ISVA) service in Warwickshire is essential to ensure that victims and survivors of sexual violence receive timely, specialist, trauma-informed support throughout their recovery journey and engagement with the criminal justice system. ISVAs play a critical role in helping individuals understand their rights, access health, counselling and safeguarding services, manage risks, and navigate often complex legal processes. Evidence demonstrates that dedicated advocacy and support services improve victim wellbeing, increase engagement with investigations and prosecutions where appropriate, and help reduce the risk of victims disengaging from support or the justice process.
A locally commissioned ISVA service will ensure that Warwickshire residents, including those from underrepresented and vulnerable communities, have equitable access to independent, confidential support that promotes recovery, strengthens safety and contributes to wider objectives relating to reducing violence against women and girls, and improving outcomes for victims of sexual violence.
The Service will operate across Warwickshire as part of a multi-agency response to sexual violence and abuse and will accept referrals from partner organisations, self-referrals, parental or carer referrals where appropriate, and referrals through multi-agency case allocation arrangements.
Lot 2 Year 1 funding includes multiple streams that may not be available in full or in part for the duration of the contract, the documents in the tender pack provide more detail.

The commissioned provider will take a 4P approach to service delivery with activities sitting under the pillars of Protect, Prepare, Pursue and Prevent.
The service must be delivered free of charge to service users and be flexible and responsive to emerging forms of exploitation and changing patterns of harm. Referrals will be taken from partner organisations, community organisations and from individuals who self-refer.
The service will contribute to improved understanding of local demand by identifying trends, recording emerging themes, sharing strategic insight, supporting intelligence development and identifying barriers to reporting and engagement.
The successful provider will operate as a key partner within Warwickshire’s multi-agency response to modern slavery and exploitation, working collaboratively with police, local authorities, health services, voluntary sector organisations, community groups and regional anti-slavery networks.
The provider will contribute to local partnership arrangements, including the Warwickshire Modern Slavery Steering Group and wider safeguarding partnerships and operational groups, helping to deliver a whole-system approach to addressing modern slavery and exploitation.

About this data
- Source. Official UK public procurement notices (Find a Tender), reused under the Open Government Licence v3.0. New notices arrive through the day; the figures are rebuilt nightly.
- Two views, kept apart. The authority’s own track record and the wider market for the same kind of work sit side by side and are never mixed. Where the local picture is too thin, a figure widens to a broader market and says which one it used.
- Forecasts are labelled. The price forecast and its range, possible competitors and the earlier-work matches are our estimates from past awards: not published facts, not win chances and not price advice. Official notices do not say who is bidding.
- Every figure shows what it rests on. Not every notice publishes a bid count, a value or a delivery region, so each figure carries the number of records behind it, and one built on few records is marked as such. The on a figure explains it; the counting rules are in the methodology. Spotted something wrong? Tell us.

Payment terms will align with funding terms and conditions.
- How it runs
Bidders will submit tenders and satisfy conditions of participation before being invited to present their bid to the PCC. Presentations and Q&A sessions will be used to clarify and validate information already contained within the submitted tender. The tender documents set out the award criteria and evaluation process in full.
- Risks
As the contracts fall within the Light Touch Regime, the PCC has greater flexibility to make contract modifications during the contract term. However, in the interests of transparency and to support a collaborative approach with prospective suppliers, the PCC has identified the following known risks that may affect contract delivery:
- Funding stability – Funding for these services is determined partly by factors outside the PCC’s control. Consequently, the PCC cannot absolutely guarantee the continued availability or stability of funding throughout the contract term. Should funding be reduced, withdrawn or otherwise impacted, the PCC will work closely with the provider(s) to mitigate any adverse effects on service delivery.
- MOJ funding – additional MOJ funding for ISVAs is only confirmed for year 1. The Authority will work with the provider(s) closely and agree any modifications to the Pricing Schedule if necessary.
- Funding levels – Decisions regarding the level of available funding are outside the PCC’s control and can fluctuate. As such, the PCC cannot guarantee that funding will remain at the anticipated level throughout the contract term. Funding levels may increase; however, there is also a risk that they may decrease. The PCC will work collaboratively with the provider(s) to manage and minimise any negative impacts arising from changes to funding levels.
- OPCC abolishment – The Government has announced its intention to abolish the PCC function. Should these proposals proceed, the parties will work collaboratively to agree and implement any necessary arrangements with the provider(s) to ensure a smooth and orderly transition and novation of the contracts.
- TUPE – TUPE is a known risk within this procurement and will apply to the transfer of relevant employees if they are eligible. Providers should note that certain transferring roles may not align fully with their proposed service delivery model(s). Providers will be responsible for managing the TUPE process and all associated risks, liabilities, and compliance requirements.
Following contract award and completion of the TUPE process, the PCC and the successful provider(s) will work collaboratively and in good faith to agree any reasonable and necessary amendments to the service delivery model and/or financial model arising directly from the outcome of TUPE. Any such amendments must be fully documented, appropriately evidenced, and clearly justified. TUPE data will be made available once we have received a completed 'TUPE Confidentiality Agreement' which can be found in the tender pack.
- Other risks – As explicitly outlined in Tender documents regarding different sources of funding.
