Tender: Independent Author/Chair for Domestic Homicide Reviews — Dynamic Purchasing System (West Midlands)

About

Birmingham City Council, on behalf of the West Midlands Community Safety Partnership, is seeking suppliers to join a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for an Independent Author/Chair combined role to undertake statutory Domestic Homicide Reviews across the seven West Midlands local authorities: Birmingham, Coventry, Dudley, Sandwell, Solihull, Walsall and Wolverhampton. The service requires independent authors/chairs to review the circumstances of deaths of people aged 16 and over that have, or appear to have, resulted from violence, abuse or neglect by a relative, current or former intimate partner, or household member, and to identify lessons, set required changes with actions and timescales, apply lessons to policies and procedures and help prevent future domestic abuse and homicide. The DPS is a two-stage process (Stage 1: selection to join the DPS; Stage 2: award-stage invitations to tender for contracts) and will remain open for new suppliers to enter throughout its duration. Potential suppliers must register with the council’s e-tendering system (in-tend) to express interest; support is available via email at [email protected].
