Positioned under the industry category of justice and welfare services, this procurement, with a budget of £24.4 million excluding VAT, fits into an active tender stage using an open procurement method. Key submission and enquiry periods are set, with the tender closing on 3rd July 2026 and the contract slated to commence on 1st April 2027, extending potentially to March 2032, considering renewal options. The service will be delivered across multiple UK regions including England and Wales, within the justice services sector. This contract presents a significant opportunity for businesses, particularly those classified as SMEs or VCSEs, to expand into the public sector by delivering essential support services. Organisations offering justice, welfare, counselling, and behavioural services may find this tender especially aligned with their expertise. The Ministry is open to proposals that demonstrate strong local and regional understanding, providing additional economic and social benefits beyond the contract's core requirements. By doing so, businesses can not only secure a robust contract but also enhance their social responsibility footprint within the community. ## Notice National Homicide Service providing support to bereaved families and eyewitnesses of homicide.
