How to win: West Midlands Violence Reduction Strategy 2027-2030

About this contract

The West Midlands Violence Reduction Strategy is due to be reviewed and updated during October 2026- March 2027. We are seeking to commission an experienced individual or organisation to review progress and learning from the 2023-2026 Strategy and co-produce a new strategy for 2027-2030. The new strategy must be evidence-led, responsive to current and emerging patterns of violence, and informed by regional and local data research, evaluation evidence and stakeholder insight. It must align with the Serious Violence Duty, including refreshed and supplementary statutory guidance, and clearly set out the region's priorities, intended outcomes and approach to delivery.
