Description

The Department wishes to appoint a Contractor(s) for the provision of support services for potential adult victims of modern slavery who have been subjected to any form of modern slavery, including victims of human trafficking or victims of slavery, servitude or forced and compulsory labour. The support service will also extend to children. Under the current contract, on occasion children have also been recovered with adults, albeit they are not necessarily potential victims. The Department wishes to replicate provision for children under the new contract so as to comply with Article 8 of the European Convention Human Rights (ECHR), the right to a family life.
