The successful tenderer(s) will be required to work in close partnership with the Council, Powys Teaching Health Board, Dyfed Powys Police and other key partner agencies, including community groups. The Council is seeking an organisation who will effectively deliver this contract but also work as a developmental partner to help shape the future direction of addressing Violence Against Women, Domestic Abuse and Sexual Violence in Powys.
