Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Justice in the UK is conducting a tender for the "Community Justice Learning" project, aimed at providing education and training services classified under health, social, and other services. This initiative falls within the "Light Touch Regime" and is set across three geographical areas aligned with the National Probation Service regions. The tender is currently at the planning stage, with submissions open until 2nd June 2021. The total value of the procurement is £10 million, covering the development and delivery of the Professional Qualification in Probation (PQiP) for probation officer trainees, with intakes scheduled for November 2021 and March 2022.

This procurement presents substantial opportunities for businesses in the education and training sector, particularly those specialising in professional qualifications, consultancy services, and probation training services. Companies capable of delivering blended learning models, which include both distance and in-person training, would be well-suited to compete. The authorities are looking for suppliers who can enhance local economic, social, and environmental well-being, thus fostering partnerships that align with the Public Services (Social Value) Act 2012. Bidders must prepare to engage with the Ministry of Justice through the designated e-sourcing portal.
