Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Justice commissioned a care-experienced peer mentoring intervention at HMP Ranby. Ingeus is to deliver the service, which aims to address mistrust of state and charity services, connect people with existing support for care leavers, and develop established pathways for peer mentors. This is a service contract in the probation-services category. The work is centred on HMP Ranby; the source does not give a wider delivery location.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Ingeus. The Ministry of Justice used a below-threshold direct award without competition. The contract was signed on 8 September 2026 and runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2027. Its value is £44,000 including tax. The procurement was structured as one lot. The published information describes the intervention’s aims but gives no further evaluation basis or participation requirements.

For suppliers considering similar future work for the Ministry of Justice, this award demonstrates demand for a focused peer mentoring service within a prison setting, aimed specifically at people with care experience. Credible providers would need to show they can recruit, support or develop peer mentors and establish clear pathways linking participants to existing care-leaver services. The requirement also points to the importance of delivering in a way that can address mistrust of both government and charity-sector support. The buyer placed this work through a below-threshold direct award, so a competitor should understand that this instance was not openly competed; the award alone does not establish the route for any future requirement.
