This initiative aims to provide comprehensive support services tailored to women involved with the CJS within London, focusing on reducing reoffending and custodial sentences. An essential milestone in this process is the engagement end date of 17 January 2022, with an initial Market Engagement Event taking place on 16 December 2021. The procurement method will be a Co-Commissioned Call-Off Competition via the Probation Services Dynamic Framework (PSDF), with services to be delivered across three designated lots in the London area. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in probation services, rehabilitation, and support for vulnerable women. Companies that offer innovative solutions in accommodation, education, training, employment, emotional wellbeing, and social inclusion will find this tender particularly relevant. Furthermore, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, especially those capable of collaborating as consortia or forming partnerships to meet the diverse needs outlined in the contractual requirements. Engaging in this tender could enhance their visibility and credibility within the public sector, facilitating growth in this important service area. ## Notice The London Probation Service and the Major's Office for Policing and Crime (MOPAC) intend to launch a Co-Commissioned Call-Off Competition (COC) via the Probation Services Dynamic Framework (PSDF) to source a Provider(s) of Probation and support/rehabilitation services for Women on Probation and Women and girls in touch with the Criminal Justice System (CJS) in London. The aims of this service in London, which aligns with the whole-systems approach to female offending and the London Blueprint for Female offenders are: - to reduce the reoffending of Women on Probation; - to reduce the use of custodial sentences for women; and - to reduce the risk of becoming victims of Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG). There are two broad categories of service user in scope for this Call Off Contract; 1. Women on Probation" - Defined as women who are referred by their Probation Practitioner, either during a prison sentence following conviction or during a community sentence. For these women it would be expected that at least part of their engagement with the Women's Service will be an enforceable part of their sentence, although they may engage in extra sessions for support on a voluntary basis. 2) "Non-probation women and girls" - Women and girls referred into the service by other partner agencies in London as part of the whole systems approach to women in touch with the Criminal Justice System (CJS). These women and girls must be resident in London or intending to return to London following prison release. Further information around this will be provided in due course through further market engagement and call-off documents. The Provider will need to provide a service specific to the Women's cohort for the following service categories; DF.01 Accommodation DF.02 Education, Training & Employment DF.03 Finance, Benefits & Debts DF.04 Dependency & Recovery DF.05 Family & Significant Others DF.06 Lifestyle & Associates DF.07 Emotional Wellbeing DF.08 Social Inclusion To be invited to bid against the COC, Providers will need to be qualified onto the PSDF in one or more of the above plus DF.09 Women's Cohort. The final bidding model must qualify in all of the above plus DF.09 either as a single entity, a consortium or through a bidding model containing specified key-subcontractors qualified onto the DF in the missing categories. Please see the attached Onboarding Provider Pack and sign up to the market engagement session for more information on bidding models and onboarding to the PSDF Additional information: There will be 3 lots and 3 Call-off contracts for the Women's Services in London.
