## Summary

The Police & Crime Commissioner for Merseyside and the Chief Constable for Merseyside have completed a procurement process for the project titled "MVRP Funding Neurodiversity Toolkit for Criminal Justice Services across Merseyside." This falls under the industry category of social work and related services. The procurement was conducted through a direct method, classified as below threshold without competition. The contract was awarded to the large-scale supplier MAKING SPACE, headquartered in Cheshire, UK, and it covers various regions across the United Kingdom, including Merseyside, North East, North West, and others. The initiative, starting from 1st April 2026 and concluding on 31st March 2027, is aimed at implementing neurodiversity-inclusive practices system-wide across criminal justice services in Merseyside.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses involved in social services, especially those specializing in neurodiversity and inclusivity. Organisations capable of providing comprehensive training, resources, and support for neurodivergent individuals and professionals will find valuable growth prospects. The programme's focus on wide-scale implementation, multi-agency coordination, and the development of Neurodiversity Champions makes it an attractive prospect for enterprises aiming to expand their expertise and impact in the criminal justice sector. Companies with experience in co-production, workforce training, and educational workshops would be well-suited to contribute to the goals outlined in this procurement process.

## Notice

This project represents the continuation and embedding phase of an established Neurodiversity Toolkit for Criminal Justice Services across Merseyside. Building on previously developed resources, training, and partnerships, the focus for 2026/27 is on system-wide implementation, scaling, and embedding of neurodiversity-inclusive, trauma-informed practice across custody, courts, prisons, probation, and community services. The programme supports neurodivergent individuals, their families, and professionals, and includes workforce training, resource dissemination, and the development of Neurodiversity Champions. A key element is the delivery of the NEST Workshop at HMP Liverpool, alongside strengthened multi-agency coordination, evaluation (with LJMU), and lived-experience co-production.
