Summary of the contracting process

The Police & Crime Commissioner for Merseyside and Chief Constable for Merseyside commissioned a women’s Out of Court Disposal Pathway across Merseyside. This is a community action and early-intervention service for women who have committed low-level or first-time offences and are eligible for an out-of-court disposal. The pathway is intended to provide support before matters progress further through the criminal justice system. The procurement covers services and is suitable for voluntary, community and social enterprise organisations. The stated delivery area is Merseyside. The requirement is presented as a charitable service involving two organisations, with Tomorrow’s Women Wirral identified as the awarded supplier. The associated service classification is community action programme (CPV 85322000).

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct, below-threshold procedure without competition. One lot was used. Tomorrow’s Women was selected for the service at an awarded value of £73,500 gross, in GBP. The contract period runs from 16 September 2026 to 31 March 2028. The published award information records a planned signature milestone on 16 September 2026, while the award status is pending. The buyer is the Police & Crime Commissioner for Merseyside and Chief Constable for Merseyside. The procurement was evaluated as a service requirement for a community action programme, with the lot marked as suitable for voluntary, community and social enterprise organisations. No competitive tender stage was used.

This procurement demonstrates demand for specialist voluntary and community-sector provision supporting women who have committed low-level or first-time offences. A credible future supplier would need to deliver an early-intervention pathway for women eligible for out-of-court disposal, operate effectively across Merseyside, and provide community-based support aligned with criminal justice diversion. The requirement favours organisations able to work with women facing offending-related needs and to coordinate a structured pathway rather than provide a one-off intervention. Tomorrow’s Women’s status as a charitable SME and VCSE indicates the type of organisation that can meet the buyer’s expectations: a mission-led community provider with the capacity to deliver locally, engage the relevant women’s cohort and work within an out-of-court disposal model.
