Summary of the contracting process

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Derbyshire is seeking an offender engagement, support and oversight service for high-risk offenders living in supported exempt accommodation. The commissioner is the lead contracting body and is working with Derbyshire County Council, Derby City Council, HM Prison and Probation Service, district and borough councils across Derbyshire, and Derby Homes Limited. The service falls within social work, probation and community support. Delivery is in Derbyshire, although the published location information identifies only the wider UK area. The work is intended for people assessed as high risk who are living in supported exempt accommodation; suppliers should consult the statement of requirements for the service model and detailed responsibilities.

The buyer invited offers through an open procedure. This is a single-lot service procurement. The tender set an enquiry deadline of 23 October 2026 at 11:00 and a bid deadline of 13 November 2026 at 12:00; an award decision was due by 14 December 2026. The estimated value is £288,000 excluding VAT (£345,600 including VAT). The initial contract period runs from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2028, with an option for one further 12-month extension, potentially taking the end date to 31 March 2029. Evaluation is weighted 80% to quality and 20% to price. Electronic submission is permitted, and bids must be in English.

The requirement may suit social care, probation, offender management and community-support providers with experience working with high-risk people in supported accommodation. Strong quality-led proposals will matter more than price under the stated evaluation weighting, so suppliers should be able to explain how they will engage residents, provide practical support and maintain appropriate oversight in partnership with public bodies. The service is a focused, single-lot commission rather than a broad multi-lot programme, and the published suitability information marks it as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. Providers will need sufficient operational capacity to deliver across the relevant Derbyshire area and to coordinate with the commissioner, councils, prison and probation services and housing partners. The detailed service requirements should guide bidders in assessing the specialist expertise and delivery arrangements needed.
