How to win: Domestic Abuse Safe Accommodation Framework 2026

About this contract

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).
