Planning Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) is planning a tender for the retendering of HMPPS Prisoner Family and Significant Other Services across the public prison estate in England and Wales. This procurement falls under the "Prison services" category and aims to support the maintenance of family links for offenders, which is crucial for reducing re-offending rates. The planned market engagement events will take place virtually from the 1st to the 3rd of November 2021, offering four sessions for interested bidders to discuss various aspects of the tender and explore potential contract lots.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses that provide services related to family support, social work, and visitor centre operations within the prison system. Companies specialising in psychological support services, mediation, and social service provision would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. The MoJ is actively seeking innovative approaches to enhance support for families of offenders, aligning with the recommendations from Lord Farmer’s reviews, which means that suppliers who can offer comprehensive and integrated service solutions will have a competitive advantage.

Notice Description

This PIN is being issued for initial Stage 2 market engagement purposes only. The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) is retendering the provision of HMPPS Prisoner Family and Significant Other Services in England and Wales public prison estate It is recognised that supporting and maintaining links between offenders and their families can help reduce re-offending. Doing so can contribute to tackling intergenerational offending by addressing the poor outcomes faced by children of offenders. Visitor centres offer support to Families and Significant Others. They offer signposting to a range of support services, decrease the stress associated with visiting a prison establishment and facilitate inter agency working. The visitor centre services are delivered throughout most of the estate, the level of service and size of resourcing is largely dependent on local need. The MoJ is keen to explore different specification components to ensure family services provisions address the recommendations from Lord Farmer's 2017 and 2019 reviews (links below), as well as exploring greater integration with probation reforms, explained in detail here: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/strengthening-probation-building-confidence Lord Farmer Review (2017) - The Importance of Strengthening Prisoners' Family Ties to Prevent Reoffending and Reduce Intergenerational Crime.
