## Summary

The Ministry of Justice has recently completed the procurement process for the contract titled "Education, Training and Employment Services for the North East," which falls under the industry category of probation services. Located in the North East of the United Kingdom, this tender was initiated under the Light Touch Regime of PCR 2015, with the contract set to commence on 26 June 2021 and conclude on 31 March 2024. The procurement method was selective, involving a call-off from the established Probation Services Dynamic Framework (PSDF). Key activities were finalised during the tender period, which ended on 5 October 2020, with a total contract value of £4,046,358.

This contract presents significant opportunities for business growth, particularly for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that are qualified within the relevant financial thresholds and service categories. Successful bidders, like Ingeus UK Limited, will be providing vital rehabilitative and resettlement services, making this an appealing opportunity for businesses with expertise in education and training services, as well as those specialising in support for probation services. Engaging in such government contracts can help businesses expand their client base and establish long-term partnerships with public sector organisations.

## 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.
