This initiative focuses on improving relationships with the London Probation Service and enhancing support mechanisms through GRT-led personnel. The procurement stage is currently in planning, with expressions of interest (EOI) required by 17th November 2021. This PIN has been issued to gauge interest and understanding of the market before any potential contracts are developed under the Ministry of Justice’s Probation Dynamic Framework. This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in community engagement services, particularly those with a focus on social work, mentoring, and cultural mediation. Organisations with experience in working with the GRT community or those offering related probation services would be ideally suited to compete. Participating in this procurement could lead to meaningful partnerships and the chance to contribute positively to public service outcomes, thereby supporting business growth in socially responsible sectors. ## Notice The Authority is seeking to deliver an engagement service for People on Probation (POP) who identify as members of the Gypsy, Roma and Traveller (GRT) community. This is with a view to building stronger relationships between the GRT community and the London Probation Service, both on an individual and wider organisational level. We are specifically seeking services led by personnel with a GRT background to perform roles such as 'navigators' or 'mentors' for engagement activities. The overarching aim of this service will be to improve outcomes for GRT POP and increase staff confidence in working with the GRT cohort. It is also to improve compliance, engagement and referral levels to current probation and rehabilitation services. ### Lot Information Lot 1 The Authority envisages the service will be 1-2-1 engagement and will provide support/mentoring across the following areas: * Court-based Pre-sentence report (PSR) engagement; * Community orders and licences for POP; * An 'in-reach' element, including a focus on recalled individuals (subject to the referral levels in respect of 2.2.1 and 2.2.2); * Staff awareness raising amongst London-based operational staff in how to improve engagement with the GRT cohort. Some of the activities would include, but are not limited to: completing PSR consultations and engaging with GRT POP before they are sentenced; complete mentoring referrals (pre- and post-sentence) to encourage engagement; achieve and monitor outcomes associated with mentoring; engage with GRT individuals (especially those who are recalled or are at risk or being recalled); encourage engagement with current providers of probation and rehabilitation services; and perform identity and cultural awareness interventions. Monitoring and tracking referral data, including outcomes of any engagement, are vital to help the Authority develop its data quality on the GRT community and subsequently use this data to better connect with the GRT community. The Authority requires the provider to deliver these services across London. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/028108-2021 | | Notice type | Planning Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 9 Nov 2021 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 7 Jan 2022 | | 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 | Planned | | Lots status | Planned | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | MINISTRY OF JUSTICE | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW1H 9AJ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | Westminster | | Electoral ward | St James's | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | TLI London | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 75 - Administration, defence and social security services ### Codes - 75231240 - Probation services ## Release History - 9 Nov 2021 at 22:45 - Planning - Planning Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/028108-2021 ## Notice URLs - https://teams.microsoft.com/registration/KEeHxuZx_kGp4S6MNndq2A,OZkDVOwJq06dgG8yJ5IlDg,Y0411THc9EK1vkdCna3zIA,JellUZZ4p0acFScB - https://welcome-hub.hmppsintranet.org.uk/my-work/my-service/interventions-unpaid-work-and-crs/commissioned-rehabilitative-services/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
