## Summary

The Ministry of Justice is initiating a procurement process titled "Probation and support/rehabilitation services for Women on Probation and Non-probation women and girls in touch with the Criminal Justice System (CJS) in London." This tender falls within the services category, specifically focusing on probation services, and is planned to commence with a market engagement event scheduled for 16th December 2021. The procurement will involve a Co-Commissioned Call-Off Competition (COC) through the Probation Services Dynamic Framework (PSDF), aiming to source providers for three distinct lots covering various geographical areas in London.
