Opportunity overview
7F Commercial Services is undertaking a soft market assessment on behalf of Norfolk Constabulary, to gain an understanding of the potential level of market interest in the future delivery of a victim-focus forensic response model. Operation Nightingale is a victim focused forensic response model, piloted successfully by Durham Constabulary and proposed for implementation as a 24/7 Norfolk pilot. The model ensures that any victim aged 18 or over who sustains injuries during a domestic abuse offence has rapid access to a Forensic Medical Practitioner (FMP). This provides timely, high quality forensic evidence, improved victim care, and strengthens early investigative and charging decisions. The estimated value set out in this notice is indicative only and has been included for transparency purposes. It is based on initial assumptions and does not represent a fixed or final budget. The Contracting Authority is seeking to better understand current market capabilities, delivery models, and appropriate commercial approaches for the services in scope. Accordingly, the Authority welcomes engagement with the market to help inform the final structure, scope, and value of the procurement. Information gathered through this process may influence: • The final contract value and pricing mechanism • The delivery model • The route to market and procurement procedure The Authority intends to use market insight to ensure the service is contracted in a way that achieves best value and aligns with market capability and innovation. The Authority may undertake further preliminary market engagement prior to commencement of the procurement process. Details will be published in due course.
