The overall focus of HMPPS CFO is to help offenders move towards mainstream provision or activity which reinforces the value of leading law-abiding lives, such as entering employment, education or training and interacting positively with their family and local community. This is achieved through facilitating access to comprehensive support mechanisms appropriate to their individual circumstance and assessed need, and as such is a key delivery vehicle for MoJ Strategic Outcome 2: Reduce Reoffending. CFO Evolution is not a standalone programme. It is designed to complement and support core HMPPS provision, increasing value for money from other projects and better preparing those socially excluded to make a positive contribution to society. The CFO Evolution programme has four aims: Aim 1: To provide a demonstrable sense of purpose for specific cohorts of offenders with complex needs by presenting them with clearly defined progression routes spanning both the custodial and community components of their total sentence. Aim 2: To provide safe spaces where offenders can, and importantly are keen to, engage in a range of positive activities designed to foster community buy-in, increase wellbeing and develop the skills required to navigate through the array of issues that present barriers to successful community reintegration, Aim 3: To increase effective engagement with mainstream or core services for those groups traditionally excluded, Aim 4: To encourage participation in activities to assist individuals to lead law abiding lives. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/55968d32-2edb-410f-8339-91213f09b9f8 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Framework | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Call-off from a framework agreement | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 15 Jul 2024 | | Submission deadline | 22 Sep 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 8 May 2024 | | Contract period | 31 May 2024 - 30 Apr 2027 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £17,378,068 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £17,378,068 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | 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 | TLD North West (England) | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | CAREER CONNECT (T/A ACHIEVE | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 75 - Administration, defence and social security services ### Codes - 75231240 - Probation services ## Release History - 15 Jul 2024 at 18:22 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/55968d32-2edb-410f-8339-91213f09b9f8 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/55968d32-2edb-410f-8339-91213f09b9f8 15th July 2024 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/44e369cf-758f-4c0b-bac0-0f8b59ff1377 n/a ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
