The Domestic Abuse Act 2021 (DA Act) introduced duties on Tier One local authorities in England to support domestic abuse victims and their children in safe accommodation (hereafter Domestic Abuse Safe Accommodation (DASA) services). As London's Tier 1 authority the GLA holds this duty.
The GLA will reconfigure the commissioning landscape for DASA services in London by establishing an open framework to enable commissioners of DASA services to commission these services more effectively.
The open framework will have a life span of eight years and be made up of two lots to enable the effective procurement of relevant services to discharge the GLA's duties under the DA Act. The services will include support in safe accommodation (Lot 1) and support for victims and survivors of domestic abuse (Lot 2).
| Lot | Title | Value |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Services Delivered in Safe AccommodationProvision of specialist support services for victims and survivors residing in safe accommodation, aligned with the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) definitions of safe accommodation, including refuges and other (DASA appropriate) accommodation-based support settings as defined in statutory guidance. Please note: Framework lot values may be shared between lots. The anticipated maximum total value of this open framework is £200,000,000 ex VAT. | £200,000,000 |
| 2 | Community and Infrastructure Support ServicesProvision of services provided to victims/survivors who have housing-related needs (irrespective of whether they are currently in safe accommodation). This includes services such as support navigating into and out of safe accommodation, general advocacy and prevention advice, specialist support for children, sanctuary schemes, and outreach activities. This Lot also covers wider support services delivered outside of safe accommodation. Please note: Framework lot values may be shared between lots. The anticipated maximum total value of this open framework is £200,000,000 ex VAT. | £200,000,000 |
