## Summary

The public procurement process for the "New Chance Service" was initiated by the Police and Crime Commissioner for West Midlands, focusing on providing community-based intervention services for women in the justice system. This initiative is aimed at reducing recidivism through comprehensive support addressing factors such as mental health and housing instability. Located in Birmingham, under the UKG31 region, this tender falls under service categories such as detention or rehabilitation and community health services. The procurement method used was a competitive flexible procedure, with a selective approach, and has concluded with the award stage dated 17th June 2025. The contract, valued at £1,350,000, was awarded to Anawim, and is scheduled to commence on 1st October 2025, running until 30th September 2028, with potential extensions available.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses engaged in the provision of community support services, particularly those with experience in criminal justice, health, and social care sectors. Companies equipped to deliver tailored support to women, focusing on rehabilitation and community integration, would be well-suited to compete. Organisations capable of collaborating with statutory and non-statutory community partners and leveraging local resources are likely to thrive in this tender. There is also scope for businesses to propose innovative measures that align with the programme's goals of improving community safety and enhancing the well-being of affected women.

## Notice

New Chance is an intervention for women over 18 years, intended to divert them away from entering further into the criminal justice system. West Midlands Police are the single referring agency into the service and make referrals primarily through Out of Court Resolutions but may also make voluntary referrals where appropriate. The New Chance service aims to: - Divert women from the formal criminal justice process by providing an effective community-based alternative to prosecution or conviction and potential short custodial sentences. - Address underlying and root issues contributing to offending behaviour, including but not limited to substance use, mental health, housing instability, domestic abuse and socio-economic factors, through support tailored to an individual woman's needs. - Provide trauma- and gender-responsive support that recognises and meets the specific needs of women in the criminal justice system, considering their individual experiences. - Improve community safety by promoting rehabilitation, reducing re-offending rates and improving women's outcomes e.g. education, training and employment and family relationships. Achieved through empowering women to lead safe and healthy lives. - Work collaboratively with statutory and non-statutory community-based partners to ensure a coordinated multi-disciplinary approach that leverages local knowledge and resources to achieve the best outcomes for women.
