Domestic Abuse Safe Accommodation Framework 2026

Tender description

The Domestic Abuse Act 2021 (DA Act) introduced duties on Tier One local authorities in England to support domestic abuse victims and their children in safe accommodation (hereafter Domestic Abuse Safe Accommodation (DASA) services). As London's Tier 1 authority the GLA holds this duty. The GLA will reconfigure the commissioning landscape for DASA services in London by establishing an open framework to enable commissioners of DASA services to commission these services more effectively. The open framework will have a life span of eight years and be made up of two lots to enable the effective procurement of relevant services to discharge the GLA's duties under the DA Act. The services will include support in safe accommodation (Lot 1) and support for victims and survivors of domestic abuse (Lot 2). We would like to invite prospective suppliers to attend an online bidders conference in relation to the Open Framework. The session is designed to support organisations interested in applying to the framework by providing further clarity on requirements and processes. The event will cover: • A recap of the DASA Framework • A run through of the application process • Time for questions on the application process The conference will be held online on Thursday 2 July, 2:00pm until 4:00pm and we encourage partners to attend using this link: https://teams.microsoft.com/meet/32684280641524?p=jRNRTUQKxBSCcSKVKJ
