Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Justice, situated in London, has completed the award stage for a contract titled "Con_25469 Coaching in the Community," which was part of a call-off competition under the Prison Education Dynamic Purchasing System. This procurement, involving probation services, targets the North West region of England, providing coaching sessions both onsite and remotely for individuals on community sentences and those transitioning pre and post-release from custody. The procurement method was selective, using a framework agreement, and the contract valued at £90,000 is set to commence on 1 October 2025 and conclude on 31 March 2027. Though the tender period concluded on 5 September 2025, the contract has been successfully awarded to Coaching Inside and Out (CIAO), a large-scale supplier from Manchester.

This contract offers considerable opportunities for businesses specialising in probation services, particularly those adept at delivering face-to-face or remote coaching. Given the focus on people on probation, service providers with relevant expertise and capacity are poised for potential growth, enhancing their contributions to rehabilitation and community integration efforts. While the procurement was suitable for SMEs, larger, well-established businesses such as CIAO have demonstrated the ability to successfully compete in the selective framework environment. Firms leveraging similar services can potentially expand their footprint by aligning strategically with the Ministry of Justice's objectives in community coaching programmes.
