This falls under the public order and safety sector and is classified as a service procurement. The procurement process has been completed, with all contracts signed on 4 April 2017. This initiative particularly impacts 13 public prisons situated in various Scottish Local Authorities, with individual Service Level Agreements estimated between £100,000 and £650,000. This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specializing in social work and support services, particularly those experienced in working with offenders and in the criminal justice system. Companies capable of providing comprehensive case management, risk assessment, and collaborative professional interventions would be well-suited to engage with this contract. The structure enables local authorities to extend existing arrangements, thus fostering long-term partnerships that could lead to further growth in the sector. ## Notice Social Work services are provided to persons in custody in Scottish prisons. The services provided are primarily to meet Scottish statutory requirements to support and case manage offenders during custody and, in specific cases, to monitor them following release (e.g. Integrated Case Management, Parole Board and extended sentence reports, risk assessments,etc). This work forms the core of the services however there is also a small non-core element in some prisons where Social Work staff provide a range non-statutory professional interventions to support offenders and SPS. The relevant Local Authority provides these services to the public prison(s) in their geographic area. There are currently 13 public prisons in Scotland across different Scottish Local Authorities. ### Lot Information HMP Edinburgh (00728 C) Prison based social work services HMP Glenochil (00728 D) Prison Based Social Work Services HMP Dumfries (00728 E) Prison based social work services HMP & YOI Polmont (00728 F) Prison based social work services HMP Barlinnie (00728 G) Prison based social work services HMP Inverness (00728 H) Prison based social work services HMP Greenock (00728 I) Prison based social work services HMP Shotts (00728 J) Prison based social work services HMP & YOI Cornton Vale (00728 M) Prison based social work services HMP Low Moss (00728 N) Prison based social work services HMP & YOI Grampian (00728 A) Prison based social work services HMP Open Estate and HMP Perth (00728 L) Prison based social work services ### Procurement Information The Social Work services to be provided are not subject to the new Regulations.
