The brief

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Nottinghamshire wishes to commission new ISVA and support services for victims and survivors of sexual violence and abuse living in Nottingham and Nottinghamshire.

The aim of the ISVA services is to enable victims and survivors to cope with the effects of sexual assault and rape and to recover from the harm they have experienced.

The services are distinct from counselling, which is provided separately.

The ISVA services will provide casework, information, advice, practical coping strategies and emotional support.

They will also provide advocacy for survivors to enable their access to services such as housing, immigration, welfare benefits, education and physical wellbeing.

Bidders will be required to demonstrate in depth insight and understanding into the needs of victims and survivors, and the criminal justice system in relation to sexual violence and abuse.

Bidders must be independent of the criminal justice system and also demonstrate an excellent understanding of local regional and national support services for survivors and strong partnership working to facilitate working within a multi-agency context.

The invitation to tender will be divided into two lots: ISVA and support services for adults (Lot 1) ; and CHISVA and support services for children and young people (Lot 2).

Indicative values are £260k pa for Lot 1 and £120k pa for Lot 2.

The Contract Term is 2 years with the option for an additional 2 x 12 month period extensions.
