UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Justice, located at 102 Petty France, London, has completed the procurement process for "Brighter Pathways 26/27", a trauma-informed intervention designed for men transitioning from HMP Swansea into the Swansea Probation Delivery Unit. This contract by the central government public authority fell under the industry category of probation services and was procured through a direct method, below the threshold without competition, under the light-touch regime. The procurement has reached the award stage, with the award date being 8th July 2026, and the contract period set from 20th July 2026 to 20th January 2027.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in providing peer-led, community-focused services, particularly those with expertise in probation support, mentoring, and life-skill development. Organisations that are adept in structured programme delivery and have a focus on enhancing emotional health and employment readiness will be well-suited to compete. The awarded contract to Inside Out Cymru, a large VCSE based in Cardiff, highlights the potential for similar organisations to leverage such procurement opportunities to expand their service offerings and clientele within government-supported rehabilitation initiatives.
