Doncaster Council currently commissions a refuge, dispersed housing, floating support and therapeutic interventions for victims of domestic abuse. The current contract, delivered by Riverside Care and Support, expires this financial year therefore, a tender process is required in order to ensure compliance.
The service is strategically relevant and key to supporting adults and children fleeing or living with domestic abuse through the provision of accommodation and support in line with individual need. A revised service specification has been developed to align to the service to the domestic abuse hub. The hub will be the main referral pathway for the service once the new contract is in place.
The current contract value is £315,000. The ODR seeks approval to award a 2 year initial contract with 2 x 12 month extension periods with a maximum financial envelope of £315,000 per annum following a tender exercise.
