Domestic Abuse Service – Sunderland – Soft Market Testing

Within Sunderland there is a range of Domestic Abuse services currently in place with various commissioning arrangements that are due to end in 2022. Sunderland City Council, Together for Children and Sunderland Clinical Commissioning Group are reviewing these commissioning arrangements. A procurement exercise is due to be undertaken in 2021 however as part of the new service model The Council and its partners are undertaking a soft market test because: • We are looking to you to help inform the development of the services commissioned in Sunderland to improve outcomes for local people. • As a service provider, you have important insights into what will or won’t work in service delivery. This is your opportunity to influence the development of the specification. If you would like to participate in the Soft Market Testing/Market Engagement exercise could you please complete and return the attached questionnaire.
