This procurement process aims to provide multi-year grants to support women in or at risk of contact with the criminal justice system. The funding, amounting to £12,000,000 GBP, will be available across all regions of England and Wales. The tender deadline is set for 20th October 2022, with the contract period starting on 16th December 2022 until 31st March 2025. The Ministry of Justice, based in Manchester, is the buying organisation responsible for this open procedure below threshold. This tender opportunity caters to SMEs and voluntary, community, and social enterprises. Businesses in the services sector, specifically those offering support to women in or at risk of contact with the criminal justice system, are well-suited to compete. This initiative by the Ministry of Justice encourages businesses to cover core costs and aims to stabilise women's community services across England and Wales. The procurement method supports financial stabilisation and positive outcomes for women in custody and upon release, aligning with the Government's key priorities in the justice system. ## Notice The Ministry of Justice (MoJ), (hereinafter called "the Authority") is inviting applicants to submit applications for multi-year grants (for the financial years 2022/23, 2023/24 and 2024/25) to support the delivery of the Government's priorities to see: - - Fewer women entering the justice system and reoffending - Fewer women serving short custodial sentences with a greater proportion managed successfully in the community - Better conditions that support rehabilitation for women in custody - Protecting the public through better outcomes for women on release. The funding is available for women's community sector organisations that support women in or at risk of contact with the criminal justice system. Wherever "women" is used in the documentation concerning this funding it should be read as meaning "women in or at risk of contact with the criminal justice system". The funding is not intended to be used to commission services but rather to cover core costs as defined. Your application for this Request for Proposal can only be used to cover core costs which are not part of or associated with the delivery of your services including contracted services through the Dynamic Framework. The core costs funding stream is designed to further improve the financial stabilisation of community-based provision for women across England and Wales. It builds on two earlier similar one-year funding competitions held in 2020/21 and 2021/22, which had a similar objective. Developing and stabilising women's community services has been recognised as a key factor to successful delivery of the Government's priorities because: women's community sector services deliver early intervention; they provide community solutions to tackling offending behaviour, offer holistic support for as long as it is required and engage with women often reluctant to work with statutory services; they support better custody through prison in-reach services and can support better resettlement outcomes for those released from custody. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/54289d01-1e2a-4628-aa11-2f133db7af2b | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 20 Sep 2022 | | Submission deadline | 20 Oct 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 16 Dec 2022 - 31 Mar 2025 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £12,000,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | MINISTRY OF JUSTICE | | Locality | MANCHESTER | | Post town | Manchester | | Postcode | M60 0AE | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD3 Greater Manchester | | ITL 3 | TLD33 Manchester | | Local authority | Manchester | | Electoral ward | Piccadilly | | Westminster constituency | Manchester Central | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLE Yorkshire and The Humber, TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England), TLI London, TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England), TLL Wales | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 75 - Administration, defence and social security services ### Codes - 75231230 - Prison services ## Release History - 20 Sep 2022 at 08:23 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/54289d01-1e2a-4628-aa11-2f133db7af2b ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/54289d01-1e2a-4628-aa11-2f133db7af2b 20th September 2022 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://ministryofjusticecommercial.bravosolution.co.uk Link to eSourcing Portal ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
