## Summary

The Ministry of Justice is conducting a tender for "Women's Services in Bedfordshire," aiming to procure probation services under the Probation Services Dynamic Framework (PSDF). This procurement is classified under the services category and has a total value of £675,462. The contract period is set to commence on 26 June 2021 and will run until 31 March 2025. The closed tender period ended on 11 January 2021. The delivery location for the services is within the East of England, United Kingdom.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses focusing on rehabilitation and resettlement interventions, particularly those qualified under the PSDF. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) would be well-suited to compete for this contract, given the emphasis on inclusive service delivery. The selective procurement method means that only qualifying bidders that meet the financial and service criteria can participate, which could enhance competition among local service providers.

## 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.
