This opportunity involves introducing Shared Reading Groups in approximately 30 Psychologically Informed Planned Environments (PIPEs) in HMPPS settings across England. The deadline for completing a questionnaire to express interest is 6th October 2023. Providers can also register interest by emailing rachel.percy@justice.gov.uk. This market engagement exercise aims to assess providers' capacity, capability, and interest in the requirement before any formal procurement commitment. This planned tender by the Ministry of Justice offers opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organizations to participate in providing Shared Reading Groups in HMPPS settings. Businesses with expertise in delivering socially creative sessions to support offender rehabilitation may find this opportunity particularly suitable. The contract period is scheduled to run from 1st April 2024 to 31st March 2026, providing a substantial timeframe for potential business growth and social impact within the UK prison and approved premises sector. ## Notice Psychologically Informed Planned Environments (PIPEs) have been developed jointly by NHS England and HMPPS as part of the Offender Personality Disorder Pathway, to consolidate the benefits of more formal treatment, and to support 'stuck' prisoners (and former prisoners) through a pathway of change, including through socially creative sessions. The requirement is for Shared Reading Groups, to be offered on a weekly basis within approximately 30 PIPEs in HMPPS settings, including Prisons and Approved Premises across England. The aim of the requirement is to enable shared relational space with external facilitators, to encourage attendees to find a way to articulate thoughts and feelings with a piece of shared reading being the medium to relate to. At this stage, the Authority is looking to engage with suitable providers in the market to gain information on capacity, capability and appetite for this requirement. A questionnaire has been produced, which we encourage interested providers to complete. The link to complete the questionnaire is here: https://forms.office.com/e/rHYpmc6R9Y The deadline for completion of the questionnaire is 23:59hrs on Friday 6th October 2023. Providers can also register interest in this opportunity by emailing Rachel.percy@justice.gov.uk, in order to be informed of any further Market Engagement events. This exercise is purely market engagement and does not commit the Authority to a formal procurement.
