## Summary

The Ministry of Justice is offering a contract for "Education, Training and Employment Services for the West Midlands" under a selective procurement method through a Call-off from a framework agreement.

The total contract value is approximately £5,881,486, and delivery is required in the West Midlands region of the United Kingdom. This period for submitting tenders concluded on 5 October 2020.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in probation services, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). Companies with expertise in rehabilitative and resettlement interventions, especially those that have met the necessary qualifications within the relevant financial thresholds and service categories under the PSDF, are well-positioned to compete. This framework allows for flexibility in delivering services that meet the urgent needs of the authority and participating bodies, fostering an environment conducive to business growth in the social services sector.

## 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.
