The initiative seeks to secure affordable residential accommodation for offenders on probation licence. The procurement is currently in the planning stage, with a Supplier Engagement Event scheduled for 22nd January 2026. The contract is expected to commence in April/May 2026 and will initially last for one year. Interested parties are encouraged to engage with the Derbyshire Police and Crime Commissioner for discussions and further information, with deadlines for potential notifications set on 27th February 2026. This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in property management, housing services, and social work with accommodation. With the requirement to secure at least 20 properties for assured shorthold tenancies, businesses involved in real estate, particularly those comfortable working with challenging demographics such as offenders, are well-suited to compete. The initiative incorporates financial safeguards to reassure landlords and offers a dedicated tenant support service, enhancing collaboration opportunities between landlords, letting agents, and support service providers. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are especially encouraged to participate, as their suitability is highlighted in the procurement details. This is a strategic opportunity for businesses aiming to expand their service offerings and enhance community welfare through innovative property solutions. ## Notice Derbyshire Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC), in partnership with Probation Service, Derbyshire County Council, and all Local Authority across Derbyshire and Derby City, is seeking to procure a service that will secure a sustainable supply of affordable residential accommodation for single people who are offenders on probation licence. The initiative is expected to be titled the Offender Partnership PRS Scheme. We recognise that landlords may be hesitant to offer assured shorthold tenancies to offenders. To address these concerns, the scheme incorporates measures designed to provide reassurance, including financial safeguards and comprehensive tenant management and support. The initial contract will be for a period of one year, commencing in April/May 2026. We are inviting discussions with potential suppliers regarding this opportunity, which is anticipated to include: - Securing a minimum of 20 dispersed properties (predominantly self-contained, with some shared accommodation) across Derbyshire and Derby City, with an approximate 50:50 split. - Additional payments to landlords for tenant sign-up. - Access to a dedicated tenant support service, providing weekly engagement with tenants and acting as a point of contact for landlords to resolve any issues. Please note: All properties secured must be let under private tenancy agreement (assured shorthold tenancy) between the landlord, letting agent, or management agent. Supplier Engagement Event We will be hosting a Supplier Engagement event on Thursday 22nd January 2026, 13:00-14:00 via Microsoft Teams. If you would like to receive an invitation to this please send a message through EU Supply including your email address, so we can provide you with the meeting details. ### Planning Information https://uk.eu-supply.com/app/rfq/rwlentrance_s.asp?PID=101307&TID=100106548&B= ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/000089-2026 | | Notice type | UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 2 Jan 2026 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 27 Feb 2026 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 1 May 2026 - 30 Apr 2027 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Planning | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | THE POLICE AND CRIME COMMISSIONER FOR DERBYSHIRE | | Locality | RIPLEY, DERBYSHIRE | | Post town | Derby | | Postcode | DE5 3RS | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLF East Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLF1 Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire | | ITL 3 | TLF13 South and West Derbyshire | | Local authority | Amber Valley | | Electoral ward | Ripley | | Westminster constituency | Amber Valley | | Delivery location | TLF East Midlands (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 70 - Real estate services - 75 - Administration, defence and social security services - 85 - Health and social work services - 98 - Other community, social and personal services ### Codes - 70330000 - Property management services of real estate on a fee or contract basis - 70331000 - Residential property services - 70333000 - Housing services - 75231240 - Probation services - 85311000 - Social work services with accommodation - 85321000 - Administrative social services - 98133100 - Civic betterment and community facility support services ## Release History - 2 Jan 2026 at 16:30 - Planning - UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/000089-2026 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/000089-2026 2nd January 2026 - Preliminary market engagement notice on Find a Tender ## Notice URLs - https://uk.eu-supply.com/app/rfq/rwlentrance_s.asp?PID=101307&TID=100106548&B= - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
