Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) has awarded a contract to provide an Independent Approved Premise (IAP) in Bermondsey, operated by Penrose Options, focusing on probation services. The procurement pertains to the public order and safety category, specifically aiming to support high-risk individuals with community sentences or after release from custody. This contract, valued at £8,389,725, was signed on 1st December 2025, and the procurement method followed an open procedure. The procurement stage is complete, and it included bidding from three suppliers. The service is located in London, reflecting a strategic focus on localised community safety and rehabilitation services within the UK's probation framework.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses involved in providing specialised rehabilitation services and managing residential facilities. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) with the capacity to deliver quality accommodation, service delivery, and social value initiatives could find this contract advantageous for growth. Additionally, organisations specialising in probation and rehabilitation services are well-suited to compete, given the criteria for quality and mobilisation. Such contracts not only provide a stable revenue framework through government allocation but also enhance a company's portfolio in the public services sector, contributing to community welfare and public safety. The repeat procurement nature of such services could ensure sustained business engagement and expansion in the justice sector.

Penrose Bermondsey - Independent Approved Premises

Notice Description

Contract Award Notice. The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) as the contracting authority is awarding a contract to provide an Independent Approved Premise (IAP). Approved Premises (APs) provide a critical community-based service to accommodate and manage high risk individuals serving community sentences and on release from custody

Lot Information

Lot 5

Approved Premises (APs) provide accommodation for high-risk (male) and medium or high-risk complex need (female) People on Probation serving community sentences and upon release from prison. APs support the individual's safe transition into the community, while providing an important level of public protection. The key purpose of APs is to allow Probation Service staff to closely monitor and manage high-risk and complex behaviours while supporting the individual's reintegration into the community. Priority is given to those who pose a risk of serious harm to children, known victims and the public, as well as to themselves. The model length of stay for a Person on Probation is 12 weeks. However, a range of factors will influence the duration, including the ability to safely progress an individual on into subsequent community or supported accommodation. There are currently 104 APs operating across England and Wales: * 89 are operated by the Probation Service * 15 are Independent Approved Premises, predominantly operated by the Voluntary Community and Social Enterprise (VCSE) sector IAPs work with the highest-risk people of probation and are a vital element in public protection arrangements. Effective security is essential for public protection, for people of probation management, and for the safety of staff and residents. They offer a level of contact, support and supervision that exists nowhere else in the probation service with the aim of protecting the public by reducing the likelihood of re-offending. These premises provide enhanced supervision through 24-hour a day staffing, night-time curfews, compliance with consistently enforced rules and a programme of supervision, support and monitoring, which addresses offending behaviour and the reduction of risk. Residents are seen daily, and staff become involved in the residents' lives to a high degree; giving advice, offering support, exercising control and supervision and liaising with the rest of the service and a wide range of agencies. The capacity to engage directly with a wide range of Criminal Justice stakeholders - Courts, Probation, Prisons, Police - is therefore essential. This intensive level of contact is what enables IAP staff to be aware of residents' actions and changes in their behaviour in a way that no other intervention can and allows a high level of monitoring of residents' well-being. There are two key elements to the provision of an IAP: The first element is the provision and maintenance of a 'fit for purpose' residential unit which, will require the relevant licenses to operate as such; The second element is the delivery of the 24-hour support service. Further information on APs can be found under PSI 32/2014 located here: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/probation-instructions-pis Please use the Teams links to register for a session or please notify us at iaps-bsc@justice.gov.uk to be added to mailing lists. Additional information: The purpose of this notice is to advertise preliminary market engagement which is to be carried out in advance of the procurement.

    "description": "Bidders should note that the Procurement relates to services that fall under the 'Light Touch Regime' of the Regulations, regulations 74 to 77. The Authority is managing this Procurement in accordance with its general obligations and specifically as they apply to the Light Touch Regime. The Contracting Authority is following a process similar to the Open Procedure set out in the Regulations. No statements, acts or omissions of the Authority in connection with this Procurement should be taken as indicating that the Authority intends to be bound by the provisions of the Regulations to any greater extent than applies by law. 1. REGISTRATION The Ministry of Justice will be performing events through its e-Sourcing Portal. The eSourcing Portal is an online application that allows all potential suppliers to create and submit their responses via the internet rather than in paper form. 2. TRANSPARENCY HM Government requires that tender documentation issued by Government departments for contracts with a value exceeding PS10,000 over the life of the contract are published online [https://www.contractfinder.businesslink,gov.uk] for the general public. The resulting contract shall also be published. The Ministry of Justice may use its discretion to redact information to protect key commercial interests or on prescribed grounds. Therefore, bidders who wish information not to be published if successful should secure agreement with the Ministry of Justice prior to submission. Only documentation relating to awarded contracts will be published. Key commercial interests would be trade secrets and commercial interests which would be prejudiced by publication, following the tests in section 43 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000. http://www.justice.gov.uk/downloads/information-access-rights/foi/foi-s43-exemptions.pdf The prescribed grounds for redaction are: (a) national security (b) personal data (c) information protected by intellectual property law; (d) information which it is not in the public interest to disclose (following the tests under the Freedom of Information Act 2000) (e) third party confidential information (f) IT security; or (g) prevention of fraud 3. GOVERNMENT SECURITY CLASSIFICATION From 2nd April 2014 the Government introduced its new Government Security Classifications (GSC) classification scheme to replace the current Government Protective Marking Scheme (GPMS). A key aspect of this is the reduction in the number of security classifications used. All potential suppliers should make themselves aware of the changes as it may impact on this Requirement. The link below to the Gov.uk website provides information on the new GSC: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/government-security-classifications",
