Description

The West Yorkshire Combined Authority is seeking to appoint a provider for the Mayors West Yorkshire Domestic Abuse Perpetrator service using CARA (Cautioning and Relationship Abuse) Programme covering all districts: Bradford; Calderdale; Kirklees; Leeds and Wakefield. The Mayor is seeking to appoint a provider to lead the delivery and further development of the West Yorkshire Domestic Abuse Perpetrator service using CARA (Cautioning and Relationship Abuse) Programme over a maximum contract period of 7 years that has the ability to support up to 650 perpetrators per annum and associated victims where they are willing to engage that are intimate partners or family members.
