## Description

The Home Office requires an independent Evaluation Partner to carry out a process evaluation of activity undertaken through the Offensive Weapons Homicide Reviews \(OWHR\) pilot\. The purpose of OWHRs is to ensure that when a homicide takes place which involved or was likely to have involved an offensive weapon, and a statutory homicide review is not already considered, local partners identify lessons to be learnt from the death, consider whether any action should be taken as a result, and share the outcome to help tackle homicide and serious violence\. OWHRs will be piloted in specified areas of London, the West Midlands and Wales\. A process evaluation is to be carried out to understand how OWHRs are implemented in each pilot area and whether there are any barriers to successful implementation\. Additional information: Awarded following mini competition under CCS Framework RM6126 Research & Insights\.
