Working with the Seven Force Commercial Team, the OPCC has published a Request for Information (RFI) to understand the current provider market and the level of interest in delivering a countywide Sexual Violence service.

We are keen to hear from organisations with the specialist knowledge, capability and relevant experience to deliver services of this nature.
