In plain English

Hertfordshire County Council wants a provider to run a county-wide domestic abuse support service for people staying in safe accommodation, including adults, children, families and pets. The aim is to help survivors feel safe, recover from trauma and move on into stable housing. The contract is worth about £10.5 million.

What the buyer wants

• Deliver trauma-informed, wrap-around support across Hertfordshire for survivors of domestic abuse in safe accommodation, including children, families and pets. • Meet the council's statutory duties under the Domestic Abuse Act 2021 and support residents towards safety, recovery and move-on into settled housing. • Take on the existing staff team under TUPE, and sign the final contract as a deed, after taking independent legal advice.

Likely requirements

Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.

A small business would most likely be ruled out by the £10.5 million value, the requirement to sign a deed, and the need to absorb transferring staff under TUPE while showing the financial strength, track record and county-wide delivery capacity the council will expect.

How to bid

This is an open tender: any eligible business can respond directly to the buyer by the deadline, with no framework membership needed.
