Introduction The Greater London Authority (GLA) is a unique form of strategic citywide government for London. It is made up of a directly elected Mayor- the Mayor of London and a separately elected London Assembly. The Mayors drive to make London a safer city for all Londoners has prioritised reducing violence with two key areas for action: serious youth violence (SYV) and violence against women. In March 2010 the Mayor launched The Way Forward - a plan for London that seeks to combat violence against women and girls. The GLA is working with key London partners to deliver the commitments identified in The Way Forward. The London VAWG Panel, chaired by Deputy Mayor for Policing, Kit Malthouse, is a new non-statutory board bringing together key agencies from across the statutory and voluntary sector to oversee delivery of The Way Forward strategy. One of the strategic objectives of The Way Forward (TWF) strategy, is to develop a more coordinated and consistent approach to trafficking and prostitution across London - one that prioritises womens safety and routes out of prostitution and a focus on the demand side of prostitution. The GLA and the London VAWG Panel have been working with London boroughs, the health sector and the voluntary sector to implement actions in The Way Forward strategy on trafficking and prostitution. One of the key barriers to achieving this is an understanding of the extent and nature of prostitution in our capital. The findings of this study will inform action on this agenda. We are looking to appoint a person / persons/organisation to undertake a study of trafficking and prostitution in London and we invite you to tender. 2. Aim and purpose: The principle output from this contract is a study into prostitution and trafficking for the purposes of sexual exploitation in London. The study should identify and report on: The extent of trafficking and prostitution in our capital including a borough breakdown and hotspot areas. Emerging trends and patterns in the London sex industry Experiences and needs of women involved in prostitution Current provision in London highlighting gaps and levels of unmet need The impact of different policing and criminal justice responses to prostitution Emerging good practice and innovation Barriers to progress on this agenda and; Recommendations for policy and service commissioning guidance This study should provide the foundation to engage key strategic partners, local authorities, the health sector, criminal justice agencies and the voluntary and community sector to deliver on this agenda. Page 125 3. Requirements: The successful bidder would be required to deliver all of the requirements set out below: Identify and report on estimated levels of trafficking and prostitution (both on- street and off-street) in London providing borough breakdowns; map areas in London where on-street and off-street prostitution exist, highlighting any hotspots. This should be based on existing data and also primary research. Obtain detailed qualitative information on the women involved in both street- based and off-street prostitution in London i.e. demographic profiles (age, ethnicity, country or region of origin, age of entry etc.) Explore and report on routes into prostitution including experiences of trafficking (international and internal), force or coercion, and whether destitution/no recourse to public funds is also a factor; experiences of childhood sexual abuse, domestic violence, sexual violence and any other forms of violence against women and girls both prior to entry into prostitution and current. Examine the emerging patterns and the changing nature of Londons sex industry, with a focus on age and ethnicities of women in both on-street and off-street prostitution; types of services on offer and prices; methods of accessing women in prostitution (i.e. through newspaper advertisements, TV advertisements, prostitution cards, internet, strip or lap-dancing clubs). Identify the needs of women involved in prostitution, highlighting any potential differences between the needs of women in street-based or off-street prostitution and any specific needs of women who have been trafficked and BAME, or foreign national women involved in prostitution. Outline the legislative and policy framework and service provision across London (prevention, enforcement/criminal justice responses, drug and alcohol services, harm-minimisation and exit/routes out) and identify emerging best practice and innovation. Identify gaps in borough level/pan-London service provision. Establish a robust argument (based on the evidence gathered) that provides the foundation for better service delivery in London and acts as a lever to engage key strategic partners, local authorities, the health sector, criminal justice agencies and the voluntary and community sector to deliver on this agenda. Establish a series of commissioning objectives and a framework (based on the evidence gathered) that local commissioners and policymakers can draw on. Identify innovative ways to ensure long term sustainable funding for specialist services and suggest a basis on which pan-London or sub regional commissioning might be taken forward Page 126 The successful bidder is required to present the findings of the above in a written report, which should be prepared initially in draft format for comment and then in a final format. The successful bidder is also required to present the findings of the study at a number of stakeholder engagement events. Ownership and copyright of the report will remain with the GLA. 4. Cost In responding to this invitation to tender consideration should be given to achieving economies within the study. 5.
