## Summary

The Staffordshire Police is inviting tenders for a research project titled "Research Project into Ongoing Criminality in Prisons," aimed at understanding criminal activities within the prison estate across the West Midlands, including Staffordshire, Warwickshire, West Mercia, and West Midlands. This tender, currently active, falls under the social research services category and is part of the services procurement category. The submission deadline for proposals is 29th March 2018, with the contract period scheduled to commence on 1st May 2018 and conclude on 31st July 2018.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses, particularly small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), that specialise in social research and data analysis. Companies capable of conducting comprehensive assessments of criminality and providing evidence-based recommendations would be well-suited to compete for this contract, enhancing their visibility in public sector procurement and contributing to crime prevention strategies in the prison system.

## Notice

The Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner Staffordshire wishes to commission a suitably qualified provider to complete a piece of work to: a) understand the scope and scale of continuing criminality in the prison estate across the four Police and Crime Commissioner areas in the West Midlands region (Staffordshire, Warwickshire, West Mercia and West Midlands); b) understand the current threat from criminality in prisons, and; c) understand the harm caused by those in prison to our local communities. The research project should provide the evidence and support solutions to countering organised crime in prisons and make recommendations on what stakeholders and Government could do to prevent criminality in prisons.
