Procurement description

UK3 Planned Procurement Notice. Cheshire Constabulary would like to partner with a Provider to deliver a ‘Drive’ Domestic Abuse Perpetrator Intervention across Cheshire for an initial 18- month period. Funding to the PCC for Cheshire has been confirmed for the initial mobilisation and delivery of The Drive Project for the financial years 2025-2026 and 2026-27, however the exact allocation of funding is yet to be advised and in addition, will be pro-rated for year 1.

Each year more than 100,000 people in the UK are at high and imminent risk of being murdered or seriously injured because of domestic abuse. Services rightly focus on meeting the needs of victims, but too often perpetrators are not held to account, and their abusive behaviour continues. Less than 1% of perpetrators get a specialist intervention that might prevent future abusive behaviour and as a result there is a high level of repeat victimization with the same victim or future partners / family members. To deliver long term sustainable change and reduce the number of victims – we must challenge perpetrators to stop.

The intervention seeks to reduce offending in a high risk, high harm cohort of perpetrators.

The anticipated value is based on the maximum annual allocation funding for a full year of delivery, with the actual amount yet to be confirmed. Year 1 will be pro-rated. There will be an option to extend for a further 4 years in increments of 12 months. The additional years may be available subject to funding, so the value is not guaranteed.

Please note that dates provided in this notice are estimated. UK3 Planned Procurement Notice.
