In plain English

The South Wales Police and Crime Commissioner, acting for the Gwent and Dyfed Powys commissioners too, wants one supplier to run a crisis worker service across the region. The service supports people who have been sexually assaulted through Sexual Assault Referral Centres (specialist centres that provide medical care, forensic examination and support). The contract can start between January and April 2027, but it will end on the same date either way.

What the buyer wants

• Provide trained crisis workers who give immediate emotional and practical support to people attending Sexual Assault Referral Centres across South Wales, Gwent and Dyfed Powys • Work alongside NHS clinical staff, police and other agencies to make sure victims get appropriate support, information and referrals • Manage the service as a single regional provider, including staffing, safeguarding, record keeping and reporting to the commissioners

Likely requirements

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

The single regional scope, specialist sexual violence support experience and need to run round-the-clock crisis cover would likely rule out most small businesses unless they already run similar services.

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.
