## About this tender

This service is dedicated to providing support to adults and children who live in Torbay, Plymouth, Devon and Cornwall and who have experienced rape and sexual assault and / or childhood sexual abuse.

For adults, this will include:

- Any adult survivor of childhood sexual abuse
- Any adult survivor of rape or sexual assault outside an intimate partner relationship
- Any adult survivor of sexual assault that may have occurred in a past intimate partner relationship, but where the primary need identified is around the impact of sexual violence and abuse, rather than domestic abuse (and is not in receipt of other related support).

For children, this will include:

- Any child who has experienced any form of sexual abuse or violence, regardless of whether they have caused sexual harm themselves. This could be acute or non-recent.

The service is for all survivors, irrespective of whether they have reported to the police and will be available before, during and after any criminal investigation or procedures.

Should additional funds become available under this contract any modifications made to the contract shall be in line with Regulation 74 (1) (a) (b) and (2) of The Procurement Act 2023 and the modification complies with Schedule 8, Para 4 (1) and Para 8 (1) (a) to (d) and section 31(2)(b) which allows modifications to Light Touch Regime procurements, even where such modifications are substantial. So long as the Authority still has regard to the section 12 objectives

It should also be noted that Confirmation of continued MoJ funding (DASV Additional Grant) is awaited (to the value of £400k per annum). This will be added to the contract in line with the funding formula once confirmed.

It is anticipated that additional resources will be accessed by providers via charitable sources to complement and enhance the core offer through full or partial match funding. Any match funding values brought to the contract by the provider will be distinctly separate from the obligations of the Authority and will not account towards the value payable under the contract by the Authority.

No monies can be carried forward into a subsequent financial year and all spending must be evidenced as spent within that financial year.

All underspend must therefore be returned by the Contractor at the end of the Funding year so bidders should not plan for funds being retained if underspent.

The funding is ringfenced for the provision of services for Victims/Survivors of and sexual violence and cannot be spent on other activities.

Funding must not be spent on any of the following:

- religious activities outside of projects benefiting the wider community and not containing religious content; political or lobbying activities.
- loan repayments; or
- activities that make profit for private gain.
- Campaigning activities
- Funding must not be used for capital works e.g. building repairs, but can be used for other capital costs such as ICT equipment to enhance your communications and help reach local people.
