Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Justice procured a bespoke probation and resettlement support service for the Liverpool Integrated Offender Management (IOM) team. CRISIS UK provides Critical Time Intervention support to people managed through IOM following release from prison, working with them before release and for up to nine months afterwards. The service is intended to prevent tenancy loss by helping individuals stabilise their circumstances and establish or sustain accommodation. It also supports access to drug treatment, healthcare, employment, training and positive community activity. The cohort has a high prevalence of acquisitive, drug-related and violent crime, so the requirement combines offender resettlement, housing sustainment and wider support into the community.

This procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct, below-threshold procedure without competition under the light-touch regime. The contract was awarded to CRISIS UK on 14 July 2026 and signed on 14 July 2026. It covers one completed lot and runs from 15 July 2026 to 31 March 2027. The contract value is £47,692 gross, including the applicable currency value reported by the buyer. The Ministry of Justice evaluated and selected the service through the direct-award route rather than an open competition. The award is active and the contract is active, with CRISIS UK identified as the supplier for the probation services requirement.

This procurement shows demand for specialist, community-based support for people leaving prison and managed through an IOM service. A credible future competitor would need experience of Critical Time Intervention or a comparable structured resettlement model, including work that starts before release and continues after release. Relevant capability includes preventing homelessness and tenancy loss, stabilising people with complex needs, and linking them with drug services, healthcare, employment, training and constructive community activity. Providers would also need to work effectively with individuals affected by acquisitive, drug-related and violent offending, and coordinate closely with the Liverpool IOM team. The requirement is well suited to organisations combining probation, housing and practical support expertise.
