The overarching objective of this commission is to bring together all related domestic abuse contracts which have previously been purchased in a fragmented way due to how funding has been announced and received over the existing contract term. It will commission services under a single, unified contractual arrangement, ensuring a seamless and coordinated pathway of support for victims and survivors of domestic abuse in Kent whilst recognising the need to consider lotting and acknowledging and reducing barriers for SMEs to access the opportunity in so far that it does not provide diminished value. By integrating services in this way, the new commissioning approach aims to eliminate fragmentation, simplify access to crucial resources, and provide a consistent, person-centred experience for individuals and families at every stage of their journey.
The full requirement can be found within associated tender documents.
