## Summary

The Ministry of Justice is seeking structured professional support for its staff dealing with challenging offenders. This procurement process falls under the category of health services and is currently at the award stage. The tender, titled "Structured Professional Support," was published on 11 December 2017, with a tender period that closed on 19 January 2018. The contract commenced on 2 February 2018 and will run until 31 March 2022, with a total contract value of £2,700,000. The procurement method used for this contract was an open procedure, ensuring wide participation.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the mental health and professional support services sectors, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). Companies that specialise in psychological support, employee well-being, and similar services would be well-suited to engage in such tenders. By participating, these businesses can not only secure a substantial contract but also contribute positively to the welfare of staff working in high-pressure environments within the criminal justice system.

## Notice

Prisons and Probation staff work with difficult, demanding and challenging offenders both within custody (Prison and Probation Staff) and in the community (Probation Staff only). Where work is of a more intensive nature and may involve dealing with complex cases, potentially including unpleasant material (which may cause distress to those reviewing and discussing it,) regular support needs to be available to these staff to ensure that this work does not impact on their personal life or emotional well-being. This support will take the form of Structured Professional Support sessions which aim to both reduce the likelihood that staff will experience adverse effects as a result of working on programmes with offenders or high risk cases, and to increase the likelihood of the experience of positive effects as a result of this work.
