Tender: Delivery of DRIVE Project for High‑Harm Domestic Abuse Perpetrators in Bedfordshire (up to 125 cases)

About

The Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner for Bedfordshire is seeking a supplier to deliver the DRIVE Project model, a nationally recognised, evidence‑based intervention for high‑harm domestic abuse perpetrators. The commissioned service will provide intensive one‑to‑one case management and tailored behaviour‑change interventions for up to 125 high‑risk perpetrators, working closely with statutory and voluntary sector partners and operating as part of existing multi‑agency safeguarding and offender management arrangements including MARAC, DA Perpetrator and Integrated Offender Management. The primary aims are to reduce repeat and serial domestic abuse, lower risk to victims, improve safety outcomes and strengthen system‑wide responses; delivery must keep victim safety paramount, be proportionate and risk‑led, and align with the national DRIVE Service Specification while allowing necessary local adaptations, with oversight and quality assurance provided by a DRIVE Fellow.
