UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by the Police and Crime Commissioner for Derbyshire involves the sourcing of private rented sector accommodation and support services for high-risk offenders. This tender, under the planning stage, focuses on social work services with accommodation and property management in the UKF region, specifically Ripley, Derbyshire. Commencing with a market engagement notice published on 23 April 2026, interested parties have until 8 May 2026 to engage further, with the overall contract starting on 1 June 2026 and ending on 31 May 2027. This initiative, a collaboration with multisector funding partners, seeks innovative approaches to address the accommodation needs of high-risk offenders outside of traditional supported exempt accommodation frameworks.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in property management, social work services, and accommodation solutions, particularly those capable of delivering tailored services within a challenging context. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as well as voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, given the procurement’s suitability criteria. The project demands providers with unique competencies, including efficient property leasing and management, coupled with social support expertise. The responses to this tender will help shape a business case and influence future market strategies, providing growth avenues for firms that align their capabilities with the project’s requirements.

Notice Information

Notice Title

High Risk Offender Private Rented Sector Accommodation Sourcing and Support Trial

Notice Description

Further to the engagement submitted on 1st April 2026 the Police and Crime Commissioner for Derbyshire have some additional questions to the market. This PME is being resubmitted with these additional questions to ensure we capture all required information. Further to the market engagement undertaken earlier this year, and subsequent work to consider information sharing and associated risks, the Police and Crime Commissioner on behalf of a multisector funding partnership, is exploring the commissioning of a pilot approach. This approach would combine the sourcing of private sector tenancies for high risk offenders with separate engagement, support, and oversight of those offenders. This relates specifically to tenancies that are not classified as supported exempt accommodation. The proposed pilot would require a number of specific supplier capabilities which we understand may be unusual, particularly within the timeframes involved. We are therefore seeking to verify our understanding by issuing this Request for Information, the responses to which will help inform our next steps. We would be very grateful if you could take the time to respond using the text boxes and dropdown options provided. Your input will play an important role in shaping the development of the plan going forward, including the appropriate route to market. The Pre-Liminary Market Engagement (PME) will support DC with the development of a Business Case (BC). To formally engage with the market, this PME Questionnaire has been designed to allow Derbyshire Constabulary to conduct a comprehensive review of existing providers of High-Risk Offender Private Rented Sector Accommodation.
