The Guardians will be responsible for communicating the VRP vision and practical delivery of relevant activities, primarily at Discovery Gateways, but also at appropriate community hubs.

RMBC is seeking to procure a dynamic, proactive Domestic Abuse support, safety planning and advocacy service. The Service will deliver all aspects of a Domestic Abuse support service from the provision of advice and guidance, joint communications and campaigns, an accessible pathway into services, safety planning, ongoing support, and therapeutic services for all those affected by domestic abuse. The Service will give particular focus to women and families, men, mental health, housing, Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) Communities and Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender Queer/Sometimes Questioning (LGBTQ).
This service is being commissioned to assist the Council to fulfil its statutory duties towards victims of domestic abuse and their children. Domestic Abuse is a priority for the Council, and its partners, through the Safer Rotherham Partnership, and the Council continues to prioritise domestic abuse through safeguarding existing budgets and through this contract.
Domestic Abuse continues to gain national focus, most recently through the introduction of the Domestic Abuse Act 2021 and in a wider sense as part of the overall drive to tackle Violence Against Women and Girls. Whilst this service will seek to provide Domestic Abuse Support to all individuals who need it, the Council continues to recognise that primarily domestic abuse is a form of violence perpetrated against women, by men.
This agreement is for the sole use of Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council (RMBC).
The service will be subject to core and non-core contract activities as detailed in the contract documents.
Bidders are advised that the maximum budget available for the core provision of this contract is £440,000 per annum.
The contract may be subject to future additional funding sources throughout the lifetime of the contract, this non-core activity will be linked to any service or provision that meet the needs of or provide outcomes for the victims of domestic abuse. The non-core requirements as they arise will be subject to negotiation and agreement with the successful provider.
The non-core activity will form part of a framework contract for additional services which the Council may place orders for from time to time subject to additional funding.
The costs submitted by the bidder will be fixed and firm for the full duration of the initial 5-year contract term.
There will be no facility to uplift the contract price within the five-year contract period. Should the extension term be exercised, an uplift may be applied in line with the Consumer Price Index, should the provider apply for this within the terms of the contract. This will be applied to final year (year 5) costs.
It is anticipated that the contract will commence on 01/10/2022 and will run for a period of 60 months making the expiry date 30/09/2027.  The contract will have an option to extend by a further 1 x 24-month period at the sole discretion of the Council making the latest possible expiry date 30/09/2029.
The Council is committed to a performance and evidence-based approach to Social Value and has partnered with the Social Value Portal (SVP) to assist in the delivery of this.  Based on the National TOMs (Themes, Outcomes and Measures) developed by the Social Value Portal, bidders are required to propose credible commitments against which performance (for the successful bidder) will be monitored.
The incumbent supplier of this service considers that the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 2006 as amended by the Collective Redundancies and Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) (Amendment) Regulations 2014 apply to this contract.
The tender process is being conducted under the Social and Other Specific Services procedure in accordance with the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (as amended) (“the Regulations”), but mirrors a process similar to the Open Procedure.

•	Universal - to support the population, meaning that it is accessible to all without the need to have a special need.
•	Targeted – an enhanced level of support to pockets of the population such as young people or areas of deprivation.
•	Specialist – one-to-one support which includes assessments and interventions that are evidenced based.
Within these tiers we expect to see:
•	Counselling online and face to face
•	Campaigns and other forms of prevention methods
•	Online presence and an innovative digital offer that engages residents and professionals
•	Complimentary therapies
•	Robust peer mentoring and support that encourages residents to access other meaningful activities and services.
The service will continue to evolve and respond to the changing needs of our residents and we would expect the following outcomes for service users:
•	Improved access and understanding of reproductive health
•	The prevention of sexually transmitted infections (STIs)
•	Minimising risk-taking behaviors and their health consequences
•	Promoting positive sexual relationships and sexual wellbeing
Our ambition is to increase uptake and encourage early access to services for those residents affected by stigma or discrimination experienced by:
•	LGBTI people
•	disabled people
•	those with an HIV diagnosis
•	people with communication support needs

description:
Buckinghamshire Council is working in partnership with the Clinical Commissioning Group and the wider health and social care system to sustain and continue the development of a robust Discharge to Assess (D2A) pathway through the commissioning of Home care packages and care home placements.
Discharge to Assess is a pathway which has been successful in reducing acute bed occupancy. It is designed to be a nimble process that facilitates rapid discharge from hospital of medically optimised individuals, enabling acute and community hospitals to maintains capacity and respond to pressures, whether seasonal or due to the demands of Covid-19. This pathway enables assessments of long term needs to take place in a setting that is less restrictive than hospital, ensuring longer term packages of care and support are reflective of the person’s maximum abilities. Some people may require this support for a period of up to a maximum of 6 weeks depending on the assessment.
Our philosophy in Buckinghamshire is Home First.  Whilst most people will be discharged home without the need for any extra funded support, some will have care and support needs that require D2A Home care Providers.  This will provide care and support at home whilst social care needs assessments, and occasionally NHS Continuing Healthcare Assessments of eligibility, are undertaken in a community setting. It is expected that Home care providers will accept D2A service users that are Covid-19 positive but have been asymptomatic for 48 hours and also those that are post 14 days isolation and Covid-19 recovered.
If discharge home is not possible due to safety or client need, a care home placement may be considered.
The duration of each service user’s placement in the D2A package of care or placement will be determined by the time taken to identify long term needs and funding arrangements. For most service users this will be within two weeks, but where CHC eligibility requires a full assessment, this may be up to six weeks. Service users are expected to move through the pathway as quickly and safely as is possible for them.
Buckinghamshire Council is seeking to establish a list of Care Providers who would be willing to accept D2A service users. Care Providers will be required to complete various pass/fail criteria to obtain access onto the list. When an individual requires a D2A placement, Care Providers will be selected from the list based on availability, the specific needs of the individual, affordability and accessibility.
At times, we may need to acquire a number of domiciliary care hours in one geographic area or a number of care home beds in one location. On these occasions a block contract may be offered to one or several Care Providers on the open list. We are seeking providers of the following:
•	Domiciliary Care
•	Live in Care
•	Complex Domiciliary Care
•	Residential Care
•	Nursing Care
•	Dementia Nursing Care
•	Dementia Residential Care
•	Care homes able to manage specific needs relating to mental health or spinal patients
The list is intended to be in place from the 21st of June
Care Providers will be expected to respond to referrals sent to them within 2 hours and pick up and start packages within 24 hours. They will also need to be flexible in response to requests to increase/decrease block provision as required to meet demand over this period. This is important given the uncertainty of demand due to potential increases and decreases in cases of the Covid-19 and ongoing pressures on the hospital trust.
We invite Care Providers who wish to provide these services to review the documentation and submit the statement document via the messaging function on the Buckinghamshire Business Portal (www.supplybucksbusiness.org.uk) The contract and specification have been attached for your information at this stage.
Once a care provider is named on the list there is no guarantee that care hours will be offered. We are particularly interested in working with Home care providers that are available to cover the following areas:
•	Marsh Gibbon
•	Brill
•	Boarstall
•	Oakley
•	Worminghall
•	Ickford
•	Chiltern
•	Long Crendon
•	Dagnell
•	Ibstone
•	Turville
•	Hambleden
•	Frieth
•	Rockwell End
•	Amersham
•	Cheddington
•	Beacons Bottom
•	Stokenchurch
•	Leighton Buzzard
We are also particularly interested in working with care providers that specialise in complex care.
Buckinghamshire Council may request that a Spot Placement Agreement is in place prior to the provider being approached for individual spot placements. The Spot Placement Agreement will outline the terms in which the spot placements are delivered. It will include a composite hourly rate that has been negotiated and agreed by Commissioners and the care provider. It will be the expectation that these terms will be adhered to through the duration of the agreement. Any providers not currently approved by Buckinghamshire Council will have to go through an additional quality monitoring process to obtain approval before any contracts are awarded.
