Description
This VEAT Notice indicates that The Police and Crime Commissioner for South Wales, also acting on behalf of the Police and Crime Commissioner’s for Gwent Police and Dyfed Powys, intends to direct award a contract under the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 for the provision of a Crisis Worker Service to be delivered at Sexual Assault Referral Centres (SARCs), both Hubs and Spokes, within the Tri-Force area. The Commissioner intends to award the Contract to the incumbent supplier for a limited period of time (2 years) to support the accreditation of the Sexual Assault Referral Centres to ISO 15189 standard. Further, the Crisis Worker Service is part of a wider Wales Sexual Abuse Services (“WSAS”) programme between Health, Policing, Police and Crime Commissioners and the Third Sector. Following the reorganisation of these services, and the conclusion of the two year contract period, the Crisis Worker Support service may be commissioned by an organisation other than the Police.
