Independent Sexual Violence Adviser (ISVA) Services

Tender description

The Police and Crime Commissioner is inviting organisations to tender to provide an Independent Sexual Violence Adviser (ISVA) and Children Independent Sexual Violence Adviser (CISVA) support service to support both adults and young people (both male and female) who are victims of rape and sexual violence across the Humberside area. This will be part of a joint commissioning process with North East Lincolnshire Council and North Lincolnshire Council. The PCC is seeking one provider (this may include sub-contracting or consortia arrangements involving a number of organisations) for a high quality and cost effective service across Humberside. The service must be flexible, easily accessible and victim centred. It is essential that there is effective integrated working between the Sexual Assault Referral Centre (SARC) and relevant partner organisations including the police, CPS, NHS, local authorities (including Public Health and Safeguarding Teams) as well as other victim and witness support services such as Victim Support and the Humber Young Witness Service. This will ensure services are not duplicated and that the service response is both co-ordinated and coherent.
