Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Justice, based in London, has recently completed the tender process for the "Engaging People on Probation (EPOP)" project under the Probation Services Dynamic Framework (PSDF), a framework agreement for probation services in the UK. This procurement falls under the 'Light Touch Regime' of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, allowing for a selective method of procurement. The initiative aimed to enhance the engagement practices of probation service personnel with individuals on probation, fostering their involvement in service design and delivery. The tender was awarded on 3rd December 2021, with a contract value of approximately £2.14 million.

This tender represents a substantial opportunity for businesses focusing on rehabilitative services, training programmes, and engagement strategies within the justice sector. Companies that possess expertise in probation services, social rehabilitation, and cultural change within public services would be particularly well-suited to compete in this area. The framework's structure allows for subcontracting, thus enabling larger firms and specialists to collaborate and contribute to enhancing service delivery in probation contexts across England and Wales.
