UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Justice, located in London, has completed a procurement process for a service titled "Advancing Women" under the industry category of probation services. The procurement was conducted using a direct method without competition, detailed under the legal basis of UKPGA 2023/54. The awarded contract began on 16th June 2026 and will conclude on 31st March 2027, with the total contract value being £49,724.48. This contract falls under the 'services' category and addresses the needs of women on probation within the UK, particularly those facing multiple and complex challenges such as substance misuse and homelessness, impacting their engagement with community rehabilitation services.

This tender provides substantial opportunities for organisations specialising in probation services, particularly those with experience in handling clients with complex needs. Entities similar to the awarded supplier, ADVANCE ADVOCACY AND NON-VIOLENCE COMMUNITY EDUCATION, which have resources to support vulnerable populations, are well-suited to compete for similar future contracts. The contract focus on aiding women on probation presents a growth prospect for charities and service providers looking to expand within the social justice and community support sectors, especially under the 'light touch' regime that emphasises specialised service delivery.

Notice Information

Notice Title

UK7 - Contract Details Notice - KSS - Advancing Women

Notice Description

The Advancing Women service is for a cohort of women on probation who are willing but unable to engage in the Kent community rehabilitation service (CRS), Minerva. This service does not replicate the CRS provision and it is not for women who are simply more difficult to engage in their probationary requirements. It is for those women who, due to multiple and complex needs, including substance misuse, homelessness and mental ill-health, are not ready to engage with CRS - and, as a result, are at increased risk or are regularly breaching their probationary requirements. She may have been referred to the CRS provision multiple times and who have a history of breaching.
