Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Justice commissioned a resettlement worker service in Leeds, within West Yorkshire. The service provides probation-related support for people leaving or at risk of returning to offending, with the aim of supporting rehabilitation, reducing harm and helping create safer communities. It is designed around a person-centred and rehabilitative approach, supporting desistance from offending and helping individuals rebuild stable, productive lives. Delivery is associated with The West Yorkshire Community Chaplaincy Project, based in Leeds. The requirement is classified as probation services (CPV 75231240) and falls within the light-touch services regime. The buyer is the Ministry of Justice, a central government department.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. One lot was awarded to The West Yorkshire Community Chaplaincy Project (WYCCP). The award is active and the contract was signed on 21 August 2026, with a contract period from 1 September 2026 to 28 February 2027. The awarded contract value is £17,135 gross, in GBP. The contracting process records the service as a light-touch procurement and the contract as active. The published service rationale emphasises rehabilitation, person-centred support, desistance from offending, harm reduction, dignity, inclusion, partnership working and safer communities.

This award shows demand from the Ministry of Justice for specialist, community-based resettlement and probation support in Leeds. Suppliers that are well placed for comparable work would need practical experience supporting people affected by offending, rehabilitation and resettlement, together with the ability to provide consistent one-to-one, person-centred support. Credibility would also come from a non-judgemental approach, understanding of desistance, safeguarding and harm reduction, and the ability to work in partnership with justice and community organisations. The requirement favours organisations able to help individuals build stable and productive lives while demonstrating dignity, inclusion and reliable local delivery. WYCCP is recorded as an SME supplier.
