Currently in the planning stage, the procurement process includes a market engagement notice published on 5th November 2020, with an engagement end date set for 19th November 2020. The scheme aims to provide participants with comprehensive training across various operational pathways, enhancing their leadership skills through a blend of qualifications and practical experiences. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses that specialise in education, training, and recruitment services, particularly those with experience in developing fast-track qualification schemes. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) would be well-suited to compete, particularly those capable of delivering innovative training solutions or collaborating with the Ministry of Justice to develop the required programmes. This initiative not only seeks to enhance the skill sets within the probation and prison services but also opens avenues for providers to establish lasting partnerships with a key public sector authority. ## Notice Market engagement for new pan Her Majesty's Prison and Probation Service (HMPPS) externally provided operational fast-track scheme The Leadership, Talent and Capability team (LTC) within the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) People Group have designed the outline of a new pan HMPPS scheme which will fast-track external candidates who have been educated to degree level into senior operational management roles across prison, probation and Youth Custody Service (YCS). The scheme aims to provide a masters qualification that will develop candidate leadership skills as well as encompassing the operational accreditation required to work across all areas of HMPPS enabling anyone who achieves the masters to move fluidly across a variety of senior operational roles. The qualification will include the Professional Qualification in Probation (PQiP) level 6, Youth Justice level 4 and Prison Officer Entry Level Training (POELT) which will be mapped across to a level 3 Apprenticeship by the start of the first cohort. This unique qualification will be the first time the organisation has brought the separate operational pathways together to create one qualification which covers the whole of HMPPS. The scheme will begin with a 3-month foundation section where candidates will gain an end to end experience of the offender journey spending time in all areas of HMPPS and the wider Criminal Justice System (CJS). This is an exciting opportunity to provide candidates with a unique breadth of knowledge where they will experience first-hand what it feels like to be in a court transportation vehicle, see the inside of a police custody cell and much more. The candidate will then be placed into one of the three pathways (prison, probation or YCS) however they will still move around placements within all three pathways to give them experience to support their academic learning. The scheme will be a maximum of four years for those on the probation pathway and three years for those on the prison or YCS pathway. The scheme will consist of a combination of internal and external provision. It is proposed that the marketing/part recruitment and qualification elements of the scheme will be outsourced to external providers, or one provider who successfully competes for both. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5f1ba2e0-e41f-4970-9297-dc460f8a95f4 | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 5 Nov 2020 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 19 Nov 2020 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | MINISTRY OF JUSTICE. | | Locality | LEEDS | | Post town | Leeds | | Postcode | LS1 4AP | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | | ITL 2 | TLE4 West Yorkshire | | ITL 3 | TLE42 Leeds | | Local authority | Leeds | | Electoral ward | Hunslet & Riverside | | Westminster constituency | Leeds South | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 80 - Education and training services ### Codes - 80000000 - Education and training services ## Release History - 5 Nov 2020 at 12:04 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5f1ba2e0-e41f-4970-9297-dc460f8a95f4 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5f1ba2e0-e41f-4970-9297-dc460f8a95f4 5th November 2020 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://ministryofjusticecommercial.bravosolution.co.uk Please use the below link to access the Market Engagement ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
