## Summary

The South West Police Procurement Service is seeking a provider for the Deferred Prosecution Support Service, a scheme aimed at addressing offending behaviour in 18-24 year olds without the need for a criminal record. The contract, valued at £1,400,000 GBP, falls under the training programme services category with a focus on health, social work, and community action programme services. The tender deadline is set for 4th March 2024, with the contract period starting on 13th March 2024 and lasting until 13th March 2028.

This procurement opportunity presents a chance for businesses specializing in social work and related services to engage in a four-year contract supporting the Deferred Prosecution scheme in the South West region of the United Kingdom. Companies offering rehabilitative activities and community-based interventions tailored to young offenders may find this tender particularly relevant. The procurement process is in the Tender stage, providing a clear timeline for interested vendors to prepare and submit their proposals for consideration.

## Notice

Avon and Somerset is looking to introduce a new informal out of court resolution known as Deferred Prosecution for 18-24 year olds across the Avon and Somerset Police Service area. We are looking to commission a provider (s) who will provide the support needed to address an individual's offending behaviour as part of the deferred prosecution scheme. Deferred prosecution is a form of informal out of court resolution where a person accused of committing an eligible crime is offered the opportunity to complete specified conditions (for example rehabilitative activity). If they complete the conditions, then the offence is recorded as no further action, and they do not receive a criminal record. If they fail to complete the conditions successfully, they can be prosecuted to court. Critically this scheme does not require an admission of guilt for an individual to be eligible (unlike other forms of court of court resolution.)
