UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Justice commissioned a health navigator service for people on probation. The work provides visible, co-located health support and builds trusting relationships so people can discuss their needs. The navigator helps them access GP, community, mental health and substance misuse services, including GP registration, appointments, referrals and follow-up. The role also offers informal support to probation and other agency staff, and completes a Health Needs Assessment to identify health needs and barriers to care. The stated service builds on health-needs work already undertaken across Liverpool and Cumbria. This is a public service role linking probation services with healthcare and community support, rather than a clinical treatment contract.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. The Ministry of Justice made a direct award without competition under the below-threshold light-touch route. The Foxton Centre was selected as supplier. The contract was signed on 21 September 2026, runs from 21 September 2026 to 20 September 2027, and is valued at £39,804 including any stated taxes. The award covers one lot for probation services. The procurement data does not give a separate evaluation basis or selection criteria; the recorded route was a direct award without competition.

For suppliers considering comparable future work for the Ministry of Justice, this award indicates demand for a relationship-based health navigation service embedded alongside probation. A credible provider would need to engage people on probation sensitively, build trust and connect them practically with primary care, community, mental health and substance misuse support. The role also calls for coordination of registrations, appointments, referrals and follow-up, plus the ability to support probation and partner-agency staff informally. Experience gathering service-user health needs and identifying barriers to access would be relevant, as the contract includes a Health Needs Assessment and draws on previous work in Liverpool and Cumbria. The selected provider is a large voluntary, community or social enterprise, offering a relevant delivery model for this requirement.
