## Summary

The Ministry of Justice is conducting a procurement process for "Education, Training and Employment Services for the South West," focused on delivering rehabilitative and resettlement interventions under the Probation Services Dynamic Framework. The procurement is classified under "Probation services" and involves a value of approximately £3,590,405. This selective procurement method leverages a call-off from a framework agreement, with the contract set to commence on 26 June 2021 and run until 31 March 2024. The tender period concluded on 5 October 2020, and the services must be fully operational by the start date.

This opportunity is particularly suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that can provide services in the field of probation and training. Companies specialising in rehabilitative services or those with experience in delivering training and employment solutions will find potential for business growth. Engaging in this contract can strengthen market presence and foster partnerships with public authorities, thereby enhancing capabilities in delivering essential services in the South West region.

## Notice

In June 2020 the Ministry of Justice established the Probation Services Dynamic Framework (PSDF) to allow the Authority and Participating Bodies to purchase services to deliver rehabilitative and resettlement interventions. The Dynamic Framework and subsequent Call-Off Competitions are conducted in line with the Light Touch Regime of PCR2015. The Authority has utilised the PSDF to procure a range of services to meet The Authority's requirements that must be live on Day 1 of delivery which is 26 June 2021. Only bidders that were qualified onto the PSDF within the appropriate financial thresholds, relevant regions and the appropriate service categories were invited to the Call-Off Competitions. All guidance on this is available within the PSDF Contract Notice and subsequent documentation.
