This procurement for domestic abuse community-based services is being jointly commissioned by North Yorkshire PCC, North Yorkshire County Council and City of York Council. North Yorkshire PCC will be the lead organisation for this procurement process.

The overall objective of the domestic abuse victims community-based services is to enable all victims and survivors of domestic abuse to cope with the immediate impacts of crime and recover from the harm experienced, and reach out to more people who are victims and survivors of domestic abuse through targeted community engagement to encourage an increase in self-reporting to access support. The aim is for victims and survivors to be and feel safer in their own home, and to be able to support themselves independently, or through an appropriate peer support network by the end of the provision of support.
