## Summary

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Warwickshire initiated a procurement process to acquire an Out of Court Resolution Referral Service. This contract, identified as "WPA25-0037," was intended to engage organisations capable of providing a referral service with educational, diversionary, and intervention opportunities for offenders. The invitation for this tender focused on the justice services industry category, specifically addressing areas such as rehabilitation and the detention or rehabilitation of criminals. The preliminary market engagement was scheduled to end on 3rd June 2025, aiming to gather insights for shaping the final procurement strategy. However, the process was withdrawn on 23rd June 2025 after a decision not to alter the current Out of Court Resolution provision following the review of market responses. The procurement stage initially was in the planning phase but concluded in tender cancellation for the lot located in the UKG13 region, United Kingdom.

This tender presented potential business growth opportunities, particularly for SMEs and VCSEs with expertise in justice and rehabilitation services and a regional presence within Warwickshire. Organisations involved in educational and intervention services, especially those with a track record of collaboration with law enforcement or justice organisations, would have found this an ideal opportunity to expand their offerings and strengthen ties with public authorities. Though the tender was withdrawn, businesses with such capabilities may position themselves for future similar procurements by building relationships and showcasing their ability to deliver comprehensive rehabilitative services, potentially influencing future procurement decisions by demonstrating value through preliminary engagement.

## Notice

Warwickshire Police are seeking to engage with organisations who can provide an Out of Court Resolution (OoCR) referral service. These will be providers with a regional presence with access to a range of diverse educational, diversionary and interventions for offenders of crime who would otherwise be heading to the courts via a prosecution route. This Request for Information seeks to identify potential providers. The aims of the service would include: * Prevent reoffending by engaging proactively with offenders to identify the root cause of their offending, address, challenge and change offending behaviour in partnership choosing from a suite of prescriptive services within the county. * Reduce repeat offending, supporting offenders to take responsibility for their behaviour and face a consequence for their actions with a view to making better life choices. * Ensure offenders face consequences thus improving victim satisfaction and public confidence in the criminal justice system. * Improve the quality of service for the victim whilst increasing engagement and participation in the OoCR process. * Improve detection rates. * Improve the sense of community wellbeing through reducing the fear of crime. * Reduce demand on front line officers. It should be noted that we are particularly interested in potential providers who can demonstrate current experience of providing similar services to police forces and associated agencies. This is a preliminary market engagement exercise and is purely for the purpose of information gathering in order to inform the procurement strategy going forward.
