Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Justice, a central government public authority located in London, has completed a procurement process for a service contract under the title "UK7 - Contract Details Notice - KSS - Contract - In Your Corner 26/27". This initiative focuses on probation services targeted at young men aged 18-30 who interact with drug and alcohol services. The procurement process followed a 'direct' method, specifically a 'light touch' regime, and was below the threshold with no competition involved. The contract was awarded to the large voluntary community and social enterprise (VCSE), Change, Grow, Live, based in Brighton. The contract is active from 1st July 2026 to 31st March 2027, with a gross value of £49,999.

This service contract presents considerable opportunities for organisations specialising in probation and rehabilitation services, particularly those experienced in dealing with young adults who are hesitant to engage with traditional services. The procurement aligns with strategic social objectives, offering expansion potential for enterprises involved in services aimed at reducing reoffending. Businesses interested in similar opportunities could draw insights from this procurement process, especially VCSEs or community-focused organisations looking to partner with large government entities in delivering impactful social programmes.
