UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Justice commissioned community-based outreach and support for children, young people and families affected by violence, exploitation and trauma. The service focuses on people up to 25, including those with special educational needs or disabilities and those who are neurodivergent. It supports people who have experienced harm, exploitation or involvement in violence, including many involved in the criminal justice system and facing multiple disadvantages. The provider is expected to reach young people wherever they are, connect them with appropriate support, and help them develop the knowledge, skills and agency to build safer futures. Delivery is through long-term, trusted relationships in local communities. The procurement is for services, classified under probation services, with the Ministry of Justice as buyer.

The procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. The Ministry of Justice used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, under the light-touch regime. One contract was awarded to Safer London Outreach East Berkshire. The award date was 1 September 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027. Its value is £49,999.99 including tax. The tender and lot are complete, while the awarded contract remains active. The requirement was evaluated through the direct-award route rather than a competitive tender. The selected supplier is a London-based organisation that is recorded as a small or medium-sized enterprise and a voluntary, community or social enterprise.

This requirement indicates demand for specialist youth outreach linked to violence, exploitation, trauma and criminal justice. A credible future competitor would need to engage children and young people up to 25 in community settings, including those with SEND or neurodivergence and people facing multiple disadvantages. Relevant capability includes building trusted, long-term relationships; reaching young people who may not access conventional services; identifying harm and exploitation; connecting individuals to appropriate support; and helping them develop practical knowledge, skills and agency. Experience of probation-related or criminal-justice services would be directly relevant. The award also shows that the buyer used a small, community-focused voluntary organisation for this service, so evidence of local outreach, safeguarding, partnership working and delivery by an appropriately experienced team would be important when demonstrating credibility.
