The procurement will follow a Light Touch Regime, allowing bidders to submit proposals for one or multiple Lots; however, a maximum of two Lots can be awarded to one bidder. Key deadlines include the end of the tender period on 30th June 2021, with contracts expected to commence on 1st September 2022 and conclude by 31st August 2029. The sites are located across various regions in the United Kingdom including Yorkshire and the Humber, the West Midlands, London, and the South East. This tender presents substantial opportunities for organisations with expertise in educational services, particularly those specialising in working with young offenders or at-risk populations. Businesses that offer innovative educational approaches, vocational training, and support services tailored to diverse learner needs are encouraged to participate. The processed engagement will assess bidders' ability to provide a broad and balanced curriculum, enhance the educational engagement of young people, and deliver holistic support aligned with the latest educational standards. Suppliers may also have the chance to deliver optional services such as library provision and youth work, which could further enrich their offerings and contribute to their growth in this unique sector. ## Notice This Notice is issued by the Ministry of Justice on behalf of the Secretary of State for Justice (the "Authority"). This Notice is to invite bidders, with experience in delivering educational services, to bid for contracts in respect of each of the following sites (each site being a "Lot"): HMYOI Cookham Wood - Current Annual Contract Value PS2.5M HMYOI Feltham A - Current Annual Contract Value PS2.7M HMYOI Werrington - Annual Contract Value PS2.0M HMYOI Wetherby - Annual Contract Value PS3.8M The above values are the current budgets FY 2021/22. Please note the value of these contracts can fluctuate based on the population within the establishments. The intention is that 4 separate contracts will be concluded - one for each Lot. The procurement will follow Light Touch Regime. Bidders can bid for all 4 Lots and can win a maximum of 2 Lots. There are variations between each of the Lots including; Size, geographical location and demographics of the cohort including age, ethnicity, learning difficulties and disabilities, previous educational background and attainment, and risk profiles. Other variables include sentence length, type of stay (remand, custodial sentence) and proportion of the population transitioning to the adult estate or resettling into the community and built environment - i.e. physical infrastructure of the YOI including the number and size of classrooms. Potential bidders' suitability to participate will be assessed using a pre-qualification questionnaire (PQQ). Following the initial evaluation, shortlisted potential bidders will be issued an Invitation To Tender (ITT). A process of engagement will be used to confirm understanding and acceptability of the proposed contract documents including requirements and contract terms. The Authority reserves the right to down-select bidders that fail to meet the award criteria during the engagement process. Following closure of the engagement process all remaining bidders will be invited to present a final tender. Following the Authority's evaluation of such tender a preferred bidder will be selected. The Authority will then endeavour to finalise a contract with the preferred bidder. The Authority reserves the right to appoint a reserve tender during the preferred bidder stage with whom the Authority will endeavour to finalise a contract if the preferred bidder cannot stand up to their subsequent tender. The Authority reserves the right to invite additional potential bidders to tender in certain circumstances, for example if a shortlisted potential bidder withdraws from the procurement process. The award criteria will be on the basis of the most economically advantageous tender in terms of the tender representing the best price-quality ratio. The Authority envisages that the price-quality ratio will be approximately 25% (price) and 75% (quality) however this may be updated during the engagement process. Additional information: Scope of the Requirement We require Suppliers to design and deliver a "core education service" for children and young adults in the YOIs - a broad and balanced curriculum using various and innovative delivery methods to meet the needs of all Learners including, but not limited to, traditional face-to-face classroom-based teaching and digitally enabled in-room learning. The broad and balanced curriculum will include (but not be limited to) literacy and numeracy (specifically Maths and English), English for Speakers of Other Languages ("ESOL"), Personal, Health, Social and Economic Education (PHSEE) and Information and Communications Technology (ICT). The Supplier will be ultimately responsible for designing the content of the curriculum. A flexible and responsive approach from the Supplier is therefore essential to delivery of the Services. The Supplier will provide a careers advice service which is independent of the rest of the service and which aligns with the Gatsby Benchmarks of Good Career Guidance. The core service at HMYOI Wetherby will include library services from contract commencement. Other activities covered within the scope of the requirement include working with other partners providing services to the YOI and ICT services related to education. We may require the provision of certain optional services and/or additional services. There is no obligation for us to take any such services from the Suppliers and nothing shall prevent us from receiving services that are the same as or similar to the optional services or the additional services from any third party. Optional Services HMYOI Wetherby: Youth Work Optional Services HMYOI Feltham: Youth Work and Library Services Optional Services HMYOI Cookham Wood: Youth Work and Library Services Optional Services HMYOI Werrington: Youth Work and Library Services The library is a service for children and young adults at the YOIs to use, borrow and exchange books and to access other resources such as newspapers. A service must be provided to those who are not able to visit the library in person including those subjects to separation or for other reasons. Youth work encompasses a broad range of activity designed to engage children and young adults at the YOIs in meaningful personal and social development processes. Such activity might include running youth clubs and one-to-one support and facilitating the engagement of those in custody with education and other on-site activities. Suppliers may be offered the opportunity to deliver additional educational services, for example learning through drama or music interventions, adding to existing education provision as needs arise. The values for these services including the optional services is estimated to be PS1.9M across the 4 Lots. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c358d7e0-fbb9-4e6e-bd63-2fa815153c7c | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Other - Light Touch Procurement Process (Reg 74-76 PCR 2015) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning, Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 27 Aug 2021 | | Submission deadline | 30 Jun 2021 | | Future notice date | 25 Jan 2021 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Aug 2022 - 31 Aug 2029 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £132,000,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Cancelled | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | MINISTRY OF JUSTICE. | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW1H 9AJ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | Westminster | | Electoral ward | St James's | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber, TLG West Midlands (England), TLI London, TLJ South East (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 75 - Administration, defence and social security services - 80 - Education and training services ### Codes - 75230000 - Justice services - 75231210 - Imprisonment services - 80000000 - Education and training services - 80210000 - Technical and vocational secondary education services - 80310000 - Youth education services ## Release History - 27 Aug 2021 at 16:42 - TenderCancellation - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c358d7e0-fbb9-4e6e-bd63-2fa815153c7c - 4 Jun 2021 at 11:09 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/db30d28d-3cc8-4fed-b9c3-1e7998c457e6 - 4 Jun 2021 at 08:09 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/db30d28d-3cc8-4fed-b9c3-1e7998c457e6 - 22 Dec 2020 at 17:37 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d96b5185-7c7d-4291-b959-dcefef664c3e ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c358d7e0-fbb9-4e6e-bd63-2fa815153c7c 27th August 2021 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/db30d28d-3cc8-4fed-b9c3-1e7998c457e6 4th June 2021 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d96b5185-7c7d-4291-b959-dcefef664c3e 22nd December 2020 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
