Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Justice has recently concluded a procurement process for the delivery of VQ Level 3 Diploma in Probation Practice, VQ Level 3 Certificate, and Level 5 Diploma in Probation Practice under the PQIP programme. This process was aimed at enhancing the skills and knowledge of Probation Service Officers and involved collaboration with Higher Education Institutions. The procurement falls under the Education and Training Services category and the value of the contract is £1,081,500 GBP. The awarded contract, which employs a limited, negotiated procedure without prior publication, will span from 11th July 2022 to 10th July 2025. The services are to be delivered across multiple regions in the United Kingdom, including the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East, South West, Northern Ireland, the Isle of Man, Guernsey, and Jersey.

This tender represents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in educational and training services, particularly those with experience in delivering vocational qualifications and professional development programmes. Large scale educational service providers with robust training mechanisms and a proven track record in delivering high-quality educational programmes are well-suited to this contract. The scale and complexity of the contract suggest that it is particularly appropriate for large enterprises rather than SMEs or VCSEs. The awarded supplier, SFJ Awards, will collaborate closely with the Ministry of Justice to ensure the successful delivery of the programme, potentially opening doors for subcontracting and partnership opportunities for other businesses in the sector.
