## Summary

The Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA) is seeking to engage a provider for the “Greater Manchester Integrated Rehabilitation Services - Education, Training and Employment (ETE)” contract. This initiative, worth £3,801,501, falls under the category of Education and Training Services and aims to support individuals in the Criminal Justice System across the ten boroughs of Greater Manchester. The procurement process was conducted through a selective tender method, specifically as a further competition from a framework agreement. The contract has an active status, initiated on 10th September 2021 and concluding on 31st March 2023. The tender closed on 1st July 2021. 

This tender presents valuable opportunities for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) well-versed in providing educational and training services tailored for vulnerable populations. Businesses that recognise and can effectively address the complex needs of service users within the Criminal Justice System will be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. The focus on local delivery and accessibility ensures that providers can make significant contributions to service user engagement and success, fostering potential growth in their service offerings.

## Notice

GMCA looked to procure a provider who can deliver services in partnership with the National Probation Service (NPS). The provider had to have, and be able to demonstrate; skills, knowledge, experience and success of delivering Education, Training and Employment service to people in the Criminal Justice System (CJS). GMCA looked fo providers who recognise that many of the service users in the Criminal Justice System (CJS) are often adults with multiple and complex needs and personal barriers around motivation and confidence which hampers engagement, attendance and outcomes. It was therefore essential that the providers who tendered for this opportunity recognised that probation service users are involuntary clients and build a model accordingly which works with poor or fluctuating engagement. Providers must understand that local delivery and accessibility is a priority and must take the needs and history of the service user into account. The provider is to to deliver ETE support and interventions to service users across the ten Greater Manchester (GM) boroughs. These services will be available to all offenders under current probation supervision. This opportunity was procured as a further competition through GMCA's Education, Work and Skills Flexible Procurement System.
