## Summary

The Ministry of Justice, located at 102 Petty France, London, has awarded a contract to Onward Lives (Social Enterprises) Limited for providing a targeted engagement and progression service for individuals in Central Lancashire managed through Integrated Offender Management (IOM) arrangements. This procurement process, classified under the 'services' category, focuses on probation services. The procurement was carried out as a 'direct' method below the threshold and without competitive bidding, and the contract has been activated with a start date of 13th July 2026, concluding on 31st March 2027. The procurement reflects a special 'light touch' regime under the legal basis of UKPGA 2023/54.

This tender offers significant business growth opportunities for organisations proficient in delivering services tailored towards individuals with entrenched offending patterns and complex needs, specifically within the realm of criminal justice and community rehabilitation. Larger enterprises, particularly those with social enterprise status such as Onward Lives, are ideal candidates to engage in such opportunities, given their capacity to handle complex service delivery and their alignment with the Ministry of Justice's community-focused objectives. The preference for non-competitive, direct awards underscores the value placed on trusted relationships and proven expertise in handling sensitive community engagement roles.
