Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Justice is currently planning a procurement process titled "Gypsy Roma Traveller Engagement - London", aimed at providing engagement services for individuals on probation from the Gypsy, Roma, and Traveller (GRT) community. This initiative focuses on improving relationships with the London Probation Service and enhancing support mechanisms through GRT-led personnel. The procurement stage is currently in planning, with expressions of interest (EOI) required by 17th November 2021.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Gypsy Roma Traveller Engagement - London

Notice Description

The Authority is seeking to deliver an engagement service for People on Probation (POP) who identify as members of the Gypsy, Roma and Traveller (GRT) community. This is with a view to building stronger relationships between the GRT community and the London Probation Service, both on an individual and wider organisational level. We are specifically seeking services led by personnel with a GRT background to perform roles such as 'navigators' or 'mentors' for engagement activities. The overarching aim of this service will be to improve outcomes for GRT POP and increase staff confidence in working with the GRT cohort. It is also to improve compliance, engagement and referral levels to current probation and rehabilitation services.

Lot Information

Lot 1

The Authority envisages the service will be 1-2-1 engagement and will provide support/mentoring across the following areas: * Court-based Pre-sentence report (PSR) engagement; * Community orders and licences for POP; * An 'in-reach' element, including a focus on recalled individuals (subject to the referral levels in respect of 2.2.1 and 2.2.2); * Staff awareness raising amongst London-based operational staff in how to improve engagement with the GRT cohort. Some of the activities would include, but are not limited to: completing PSR consultations and engaging with GRT POP before they are sentenced; complete mentoring referrals (pre- and post-sentence) to encourage engagement; achieve and monitor outcomes associated with mentoring; engage with GRT individuals (especially those who are recalled or are at risk or being recalled); encourage engagement with current providers of probation and rehabilitation services; and perform identity and cultural awareness interventions. Monitoring and tracking referral data, including outcomes of any engagement, are vital to help the Authority develop its data quality on the GRT community and subsequently use this data to better connect with the GRT community. The Authority requires the provider to deliver these services across London.
