## Summary

The Ministry of Justice procured a specialist support service called Sole Survivor Sefton. The service is intended to improve engagement, emotional stability, personal resilience and long-term outcomes for its users, while reducing demand on probation, prisons, health services and partner agencies. It uses a joined-up, whole-system approach rather than a single-agency intervention. This is a public service in the light-touch services category, relating specifically to probation services. The requirement is associated with Sefton. The buyer is the Ministry of Justice, a central government department. The selected provider is Sole Survivor PTSD Support CIC, a community interest company based in Birkenhead, Wirral, indicating a requirement suited to organisations able to deliver specialist, person-centred support alongside public-sector and other local partner services.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. The Ministry of Justice used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, under the light-touch regime. One lot was awarded to Sole Survivor PTSD Support CIC. The contract was signed on 20 August 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £49,908 gross. The award is active and the contract is active. The evaluation basis was therefore the buyer’s direct-award route rather than a competitive scoring exercise. The requirement concerns probation services and the contract covers delivery of the specialist support service described for Sefton. The award and contract are recorded against the Ministry of Justice as buyer.

For a supplier assessing future work of this type, the procurement demonstrates demand for specialist support that can improve engagement, emotional stability, personal resilience and longer-term outcomes. Credible providers would need the capability to deliver structured support to people connected with probation services, while contributing to reduced pressure on prisons, health services and partner agencies. Experience of trauma or PTSD support would be relevant to the selected provider’s service model, alongside the ability to work in a joined-up, whole-system way. Organisations should be able to coordinate effectively across public-sector and community partners, show how their interventions support sustained outcomes, and operate as a dependable service provider for a central government buyer. A community-focused delivery model is also evidenced by the selected community interest company.
