## Summary

The Greater Manchester Combined Authority is running a tender for the provision of the 'Another Chance' Support Programme as part of the Focussed Deterrence Initiative. This programme aims to reduce serious violent offending among individuals aged 14-25 by implementing a child/person centred approach. The procurement is classified under Health and Social Work Services, with a total value of £970,000. The tender deadline is set for April 21, 2023, with the contract period starting on June 1, 2023, and ending on September 30, 2025.

This tender opportunity, undertaken through an Open Procedure, is ideal for businesses in the services sector. The procurement is suitable for businesses looking to collaborate with statutory, public, and third sector organisations. However, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) may find this opportunity more challenging due to the requirements involved. Businesses interested in working towards reducing serious violence and supporting community initiatives would be well-suited to participate in this tender process.

## Notice

The programme will take a child/person centred approach to tackling serious violence, working with a range of local delivery partners to reduce group-based serious violent offending by working with those individuals who are most active, predominantly aged 14-25. This includes Greater Manchester Police and the wider Criminal Justice as key delivery partners, enabling implementation of an approach which recognises support and enforcement at the appropriate time as fundamental to implementing sustainable changes in levels of serious violent offending. The successful bidder will coordinate a broad collaboration including; GMP, Manchester City Council, Youth Justice, Probation, NHS, Complex Safeguarding and Local Community experts (mentors). They will provide the support package, grounded in a mentoring approach and based on developing trusted relationships that facilitate aspiration, to provide long-term reductions in serious violence that is rooted in group-based dynamics. There must be a seamless, person centred approach to delivery of Another Chance, with the provider able to work collaboratively with statutory, public and third sector organisations as delivery partners. This opportunity is undertaken under the Light Touch Regime. Details are available at: https://www.the-chest.org.uk
