This initiative aims to commission services that cater to the needs of prisoners aged 50 and above within secure settings throughout the North East of England. Key milestones include an engagement period ending on 27th July 2018, before which interested parties are encouraged to submit their feedback and information. Further details can be found on the Proactis e-tendering portal, with essential documentation expected to be available from 13th July 2018. This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in prison services, health services, and social work to engage in the public procurement process. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly well-suited to compete, leveraging their expertise in delivering tailored support and activities for an older demographic within the justice system.
