## Summary

The Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA) has completed a procurement process for the "GMCA1514 Revolving Door Cohort Cost Impact Analysis" project. This contract, awarded to Newton Consulting Limited, focuses on the research and development services and related consultancy to evaluate the cost implications of the revolving door cohort in the criminal justice system. The procurement falls under the public authority - sub-central government industry category and took place in Manchester, United Kingdom. The procurement method utilised was direct, below the threshold without competition, and the contract was signed on 9th October 2025, with a completion date set for 8th April 2026.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in criminal justice assessments and consultancy services to gain insights and expand their market presence. Companies with expertise in data analysis, criminal justice reform, and cross-sector collaboration stand to benefit most, especially those that can demonstrate experience in offering strategic and innovative solutions to challenges within the public sector. This project also opens pathways for businesses to engage with local authorities and government bodies, potentially establishing a foundation for future collaborations across the region and beyond.

## Notice

GMCA have awarded Newton Consulting Limited and Xantura PS49,999 in order to conduct a cost impact analysis on the revolving door cohort by combining their held data and insights about the characteristics of this cohort to supplement GMCA's existing view. GMCA has seen success in their criminal justice and offender management approach, including high desistance rates in the IOM cohort. However, there is still high demand from those already in the criminal justice system. GMCA aims to act quickly for this cohort through a whole system approach, including a single front door for services, a peer support delivery model, and the potential to become a centre of excellence for other regions. To achieve this, GMCA needs to understand the cost impact of the revolving door cohort (prolific, often acquisitive crime low-level offenders with high unmet needs) on their criminal justice services: police, courts, prisons, and probation. This understanding will help GMCA articulate a business case for interventions that divert people away from or out of the criminal justice system. Newton and Xantura have partnered with the criminal justice reform charity Revolving Doors to highlight the impact and costs of failing to meet the needs of the 'revolving door' cohort-people who have frequent contact with the criminal justice system. This work has already revealed the extent of unmet needs among this cohort and the potential benefits of earlier or more flexible interventions. Newton and Xantura have delivered a range of criminal justice assessments and programmes, working alongside HMPPS and MoJ senior leaders. They also collaborate across the public sector, including local authorities and health systems in Greater Manchester. The scope of this project involves utilising existing GMCA-held and open source data to develop an indicative assessment of the cost impact of the prolific offender cohort. This will be supplemented by Newton/Xantura held data and insights about the characteristics of the revolving door cohort to enhance GMCA's existing perspective. Additionally, the project will outline the potential benefits of various interventions for this cohort. A key outcome of this project is for other HMPPS regions to learn from GMCA's success and implement similar strategies to reduce the cost impact of the revolving door cohort. This will inform decisions on the effectiveness and scalability of interventions, promoting best practices across regions.
