## Summary

The Ministry of Justice is seeking to provide Education, Training and Employment Services for the East of England through a selective procurement method, utilising a Call-off from the Probation Services Dynamic Framework (PSDF). The tender process culminated on 5 October 2020, and the awarded contract is active, beginning on 26 June 2021 and running through to 31 March 2024. This procurement process is classified under the industry category of probation services, with a total contract value of £3,746,146, and is specifically focused on delivering essential rehabilitative and resettlement services.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses looking to expand in the service sector, particularly in the fields of rehabilitation and training services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSE) are encouraged to participate, especially those with the capacity to meet the financial and operational specifications outlined in the PSDF. Engaging with this contract could enhance service delivery and build a reputation in public sector procurement for businesses well-versed in accommodating the needs of probation services.

## Notice

In June 2020 the Ministry of Justice established the Probation Services Dynamic Framework (PSDF) to allow the Authority and Participating Bodies to purchase services to deliver rehabilitative and resettlement interventions. The Dynamic Framework and subsequent Call-Off Competitions are conducted in line with the Light Touch Regime of PCR2015. The Authority has utilised the PSDF to procure a range of services to meet The Authority's requirements that must be live on Day 1 of delivery which is 26 June 2021. Only bidders that were qualified onto the PSDF within the appropriate financial thresholds, relevant regions and the appropriate service categories were invited to the Call-Off Competitions. All guidance on this is available within the PSDF Contract Notice and subsequent documentation.
