The service is set to commence on 26 June 2021 and extend until 27 June 2022. This procurement presents a significant opportunity for businesses, particularly those in the health and social care sector, to engage in providing essential services to vulnerable populations within the criminal justice system. Suitable competitors may include small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) possessing expertise in health services, mental health support, and rehabilitation services. The open procurement method encourages a wide range of organisations to participate and potentially expand their reach and capacity within this critical service area. ## Notice Liaison and Diversion is a process whereby people of all ages passing through the criminal justice system are assessed and those with mental health concerns, learning disabilities, substance misuse problems and other vulnerabilities are identified as soon as possible in the justice pathway. The Liaison and Diversion (L&D) Service shall provide early intervention for vulnerable people as they come to the attention of the criminal justice system. The Service shall provide a prompt response to concerns raised by the police, probation service, youth offending teams or court staff and provide critical information to decision-makers in the justice system, in real-time, when it comes to charging and sentencing these vulnerable people. The L&D Service shall act as a point of referral and provide assertive follow up for these vulnerable people, to ensure that they can access and be supported to attend treatment and rehabilitation appointments.
