Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process titled "Offender Partnership PRS Scheme" is being spearheaded by The Police and Crime Commissioner for Derbyshire, with a focus on residential property services and social work services in Derbyshire and Derby City. The initiative seeks to secure affordable residential accommodation for offenders on probation licence. The procurement is currently in the planning stage, with a Supplier Engagement Event scheduled for 22nd January 2026. The contract is expected to commence in April/May 2026 and will initially last for one year. Interested parties are encouraged to engage with the Derbyshire Police and Crime Commissioner for discussions and further information, with deadlines for potential notifications set on 27th February 2026.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in property management, housing services, and social work with accommodation. With the requirement to secure at least 20 properties for assured shorthold tenancies, businesses involved in real estate, particularly those comfortable working with challenging demographics such as offenders, are well-suited to compete. The initiative incorporates financial safeguards to reassure landlords and offers a dedicated tenant support service, enhancing collaboration opportunities between landlords, letting agents, and support service providers. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are especially encouraged to participate, as their suitability is highlighted in the procurement details. This is a strategic opportunity for businesses aiming to expand their service offerings and enhance community welfare through innovative property solutions.
