Bury has commissioned the current Independent Domestic Violence Advisors contract (IDVA) service since 2020. An independent domestic violence adviser is commonly known as an 'IDVA'. An IDVA's role is to support victims of domestic violence or abuse. These victims may be at high risk of harm or death from intimate partners, ex-partners or family members. The Role of an IDVA ensures that as a local authority Bury Council can keep residents safe and fulfil their duty under the Domestic Abuse Act 2021

Lot 1 - 40units = £1.5 + (Estimated) LOT 2: Young Families Accommodation and Support Service Young families who are homeless or at risk of homelessness face significant barriers to health, education, employment and long-term stability. This service is commissioned in response to local need and priorities. It forms a key part of our approach to ending homelessness for young families in Bury - Lot 2 - 20units = £750k + (Estimated) LOT 3: 16 and 17 Year olds Accommodation and Support Service Bury Council has a duty to accommodate 16 and 17 year olds under section 20 or section 17 of the Children Act 1989. 1.2 A child accommodated under section 20 becomes a 'looked-after' child.

These duties and safeguards do not exist for children accommodated under section 17. If a young person is not 'a Child in Need', has been fully advised, and has capacity, they can choose not to be accommodated under section 20 and will be assessed under section 17.

Bury Council intends to commission a Provider of Support into Safe Accommodation for victims and their families for a contract period of 29 months with an option of an additional 12 months at the approx. value of 380K per annum. A core component to this relates to the provision of, and support associated with safe accommodation for those fleeing from harm, and for this to support breaking the cycle of domestic violence. The intent is to commission different components of what is considered self-accommodation, consideration of existing arrangements, and a set of actions to further evolve the local offer to best meet the needs and experiences of survivors.

Bury Council is seeking to appoint a specialist provider with appropriate skills and experience to provide Independent Mental Health Advocacy (IMHA) to people in hospital. The need for this service has arisen due to a change in policy at the Cygnet Bury hospital. Cygnet Bury refers patients to the Bury Council commissioned Bury Advocacy Hub for support, the service is delivered by NCompass. Cygnet Bury has several adult patients who are deaf and therefore an IMHA service is required to provide appropriate support to these people. The service is for people aged 18+.

This project is to create a Family Hub within an existing semi-detached building. The building is in need of some access redesign on the ground floor along with refurbishment both internal and external to improve the standard of the building.
