The service will target young people at risk of criminal behaviour in Warrington, Halton, and Cheshire East. The 12-month intervention aims to complement existing services and extend support to young perpetrators of violent crime. The deadline for tender submissions is 27th February 2024, with a contract period starting on 2nd April 2024 and potentially extending to 31st March 2029. The budget for the initial 12-month contract is £200,000. This tender presents an opportunity for organisations with expertise in specialist training, youth education, and safety education services to contribute to addressing serious violence issues. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations are encouraged to apply. Interested parties can access detailed information and submit applications via the Bluelight e-Sourcing portal under reference 82989. The successful provider must be prepared for a challenging delivery timeline to ensure readiness for an April 2024 implementation and demonstrate the ability to comply with the stringent funding requirements. ## Notice The Police and Crime Commissioner is looking for a supplier to deliver an effective range of services to target a cohort of young people who are most at risk of criminal behaviour. This 12-month intervention will build upon some smaller scale work that has been undertaken in parts of the County but not all. Primarily the service will operate in Warrington, Halton and Cheshire East but will also be required to work in partnership with an existing service provider in Cheshire West and Chester who deliver a similar service around exploited young people (only). There is an expectation that the provider will work alongside this service provider and compliment their offer by supporting an extension of this service to include young people who are perpetrators of violent crime. - Cheshire West and Chester have already commissioned a similar service in their area but only for victims of exploitation - the new provider will need to work with the existing provider to compliment that service and extending to meet the needs of young people involved in serious violence. - The existing provider in Cheshire West and Chester is Queensberry AC. Following on from work across Cheshire around compliance with the Serious Violence Duty, we have developed a Serious Violence Needs Assessment and consequently we have developed strategy to address the issues identified. One of which, is young people at risk of serious violence or associated with exploitation, particularly around County Lines drug supply. Key issues associated with at risk individuals are frequent absenteeism/exclusion from school, often associated with societal risk issues around exposure to domestic abuse, substance misuse and mental health issues. The timescales for the delivery of this service are challenging. As such, it is anticipated that the successful provider will already have aspects of this programme ready for delivery with reasonable adjustments or have the expertise available to quickly use that knowledge to develop the relevant aspects. This needs to be ready for an April 2024 implementation. Note: Due to the nature of the funding streams, there will be no extensions to the timescales for delivery of this work as such only those organisations that are utterly confident they can deliver in time should apply. The Budget allocated for this scheme (initial 12 month contract) is PS200,000 The contract will have the facility to be extended up to 31st March 2029 (subject to available funding) to extend existing services and/or cover additional mentoring/group work to other wider but related cohorts. Please note the total value shown as PS1m is the likely anticipated value if the contract ran for the full maximum term. The initial contract term is PS200k. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ca1a3082-3fdf-4fb2-aeec-db10be03e7cb | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 26 Jan 2024 | | Submission deadline | 27 Feb 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 1 Apr 2024 - 31 Mar 2029 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £1,000,000 | | 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 | CHESHIRE CONSTABULARY ON BEHALF OF THE POLICE AND CRIME COMMISSIONER FOR CHESHIRE | | Locality | WINSFORD, CHESHIRE | | Post town | Crewe | | Postcode | CW7 2UA | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD6 Cheshire | | ITL 3 | TLD63 Cheshire West and Chester | | Local authority | Cheshire West and Chester | | Electoral ward | Winsford Over & Verdin | | Westminster constituency | Mid Cheshire | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 80 - Education and training services ### Codes - 80000000 - Education and training services - 80200000 - Secondary education services - 80300000 - Higher education services - 80310000 - Youth education services - 80330000 - Safety education services - 80340000 - Special education services - 80420000 - E-learning services - 80500000 - Training services - 80510000 - Specialist training services - 80530000 - Vocational training services - 80570000 - Personal development training services - 80590000 - Tutorial services - 80600000 - Training services in defence and security materials ## Release History - 26 Jan 2024 at 17:08 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ca1a3082-3fdf-4fb2-aeec-db10be03e7cb ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ca1a3082-3fdf-4fb2-aeec-db10be03e7cb 26th January 2024 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://uk.eu-supply.com/app/rfq/rwlentrance_s.asp?PID=77181&B=BLUELIGHT All applications should be made via the Bluelight e-Sourcing portal https://bluelight.eu-supply.com/ under reference 82989 where full details about the opportunity can be accessed.
