In plain English
Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council wants one organisation to run a Survivors' Voice Forum and peer support service for people aged 16 and over who have experienced domestic abuse, sexual harm or violence against women and girls (VAWG). The service aims to give survivors ways to connect, share their experiences and influence local services, and it must make sure male survivors are included and heard. The contract is worth £232,000 and would start on 1 April 2027 for two years, with an option to extend by one more year.
What the buyer wants
• Run an independent, inclusive and trauma-informed forum and peer support service for survivors aged 16 and over. • Create accessible ways for survivors to connect, contribute and shape local practice, commissioning and strategy, including roles for survivors who want to take on peer, representative, leadership or co-production work. • Actively make sure male survivors are visible and fairly represented alongside other survivors.
Requirements
What could rule a small business out: The notice does not set out any financial, insurance or accreditation requirements, but because one provider would hold the whole contract for a specialist survivor service, a small organisation would need to show it can deliver trauma-informed forum and peer support work across the full scope.
