UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Hampshire and Isle of Wight policing bodies intend to commission a range of out-of-court resolution interventions for adults aged 18 and over who have committed eligible low- to medium-harm offences. The services will help participants understand the impact of their behaviour, accept responsibility, address underlying causes and reduce reoffending. This is a rehabilitation, probation and guidance service, including CPV codes 75231200, 75231240, 85312310 and 85312500. Delivery will cover the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Police Force area. The planned model is accessible, inclusive and responsive to diverse needs, using a flexible combination of group and one-to-one interventions, delivered face to face and online where appropriate. Six intervention lots will cover Conditional Caution and Community Resolution services across drug and alcohol, violence, and retail and acquisitive offending.

This procurement is at the planning stage: the buyer has stated an intention to procure and has not yet invited tenders. A preliminary market engagement survey is scheduled for responses by 28 August 2026, to help shape the requirement. The proposed procedure is a concession, and the procurement is below the relevant threshold. The service is planned to run from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2030. The proposed delivery model is offender pays: providers would collect course fees directly from referred individuals, while Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary would make referrals. No public-sector funding is described for service delivery, so providers are expected to consider the financial viability of delivery and fee collection arrangements. The service is divided into six intervention lots, covering the three offence themes and both intervention types.

The work is likely to suit specialist rehabilitation, probation, offender-management, behavioural-change, restorative-practice and community-safety providers, including SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises. Relevant suppliers should be able to design and deliver structured, trauma-informed interventions for adults, with experience supporting people to recognise the impact of offending, challenge attitudes and behaviours, address root causes and make positive decisions. Providers will need to work inclusively across a diverse population and offer a practical mix of group, individual, face-to-face and online delivery. Experience in drug and alcohol-related offending, violence or violence-related offending, and retail or acquisitive offending will be particularly relevant. Commercial preparation should include a credible offender-pays model, including arrangements for collecting fees from referred participants and demonstrating financially viable service delivery.

Notice Title

Out of Court Resolutions

Notice Description

The Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner for Hampshire and the Isle of Wight, in partnership with Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary, is seeking to commission a range of Out of Court Resolution Interventions. These interventions will form part of the wider Out of Court Resolution framework, providing proportionate, timely and effective responses to low to medium harm offending. The aim is to support individuals aged 18 and over who have committed eligible offences to understand the impact of their behaviour, take responsibility, and access interventions that address the underlying drivers of offending. The proposed interventions are intended to operate on an offender pays model, similar to Speed Awareness Courses. Providers will be responsible for collecting course fees directly from individuals referred to the intervention. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary will be responsible for making referrals only, and no funding will be provided by the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner or Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary to support service delivery. Providers should therefore consider the financial viability of delivery, including fee collection arrangements, as part of their response. The interventions will be designed to provide a structured, trauma informed and restorative response to offending behaviour, with a clear focus on: * Increasing understanding of the impact of crime on victims, communities and the individual * Challenging attitudes and behaviours that contribute to offending * Supporting individuals to identify and address the underlying drivers and root causes of their behaviour * Promoting personal responsibility, accountability, and positive decision making * Reducing the likelihood of reoffending and supporting longer term behaviour change Interventions will be delivered across Hampshire and the Isle of Wight Police Force area and must be accessible, inclusive, and responsive to the diverse needs of the population. Delivery is expected to be flexible, including a combination of group based, one to one, face to face and online approaches where appropriate. The service will operate across six intervention lots providing both Conditional Caution and Community Resolution interventions to address three thematic areas: * Drug and alcohol related offending * Violence and violence related offending * Retail and acquisitive offending
