Domestic Abuse Perpetrators Early Intervention Service

Descriptions

Leicestershire County Council tendered for the provision of Domestic Abuse Perpetrator Early Interventions Service.r r The service is intended to deliver an innovative response to tackling domestic abuse, working directly with those who use harmful or abusive behaviours in their intimate relationships. The focus will be on targeting those individuals demonstrating some level of risky behaviour within their intimate relationships and offering domestic abuse awareness raising with the aim of addressing abusive behaviour before it becomes entrenched.r r The overall aim of the service is to improve the safety, health and well-being of partners, ex-partners, children and themselves. The project is not a full longer-term behaviour change programme for high harm/high risk perpetrators.

Any extension(s) will be at a sole discretion of the Council and subject to funding and overall contract performance.r r The initial maximum contract value is £50,000.00 per annum (£150,000.00 for the maximum of 3 years). This could alter through the life of the contract in light of changes in future local and central government funding.r r The procurement process will be carried out in accordance with the Council's Contract Procedure Rules (SI 2015/102) (as amended) ("The 2015 Regulations"), part4G of the Council's Constitution.
