## Summary

The Joint Procurement Service for Surrey and Sussex Police is currently seeking tenders for the "Whole System Approach to Triage and Diversion of Women in the Criminal Justice System in Sussex."

The procurement method used is an open procedure, inviting various organisations to participate in this initiative.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses focused on social services, particularly those specialising in guidance and counselling, social work, or community services aimed at vulnerable populations. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract as the project seeks innovative approaches to effectively utilise resources for disadvantaged women in the criminal justice system, fostering business growth in the social services sector.

## Notice

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Sussex (Sussex PCC) are tendering for the supply and delivery of a bespoke Women's Triage & Diversion (T&D) project in Sussex custody suites, which will also integrate Out of Court Disposal (OOCD) and the Voluntary Attendance Suite (VAS) for women encountering the Criminal Justice System (CJS). Sussex PCC, on behalf of the Surrey and Sussex Criminal Justice Board (SCJB), has successfully secured government funding to develop a multi-agency approach to address the complex needs of often the most vulnerable and disadvantaged women in society being processed through the CJS. The aim of the project is to use existing resources differently, to target support more efficiently, avoiding gaps or duplication in service provision and supporting women to access provision successfully to enable them to turn their lives around.
