## Description
The Professional Qualification in Probation (PQiP) is the mandatory training route for all Probation Officers that are employed by the Probation Service (which forms part of Her Majesty's Prison and Probation Service) across England and Wales.
The Offender Management Act 2007 s10 sets out the Secretary of State for Justice’s right to publish guidelines about qualifications, experience or training required to be a Probation Officer, and obligation to publish these guidelines in relation to those undertaking Sentence Management work. With effect from 1 April 2016 and as set out in statutory guidelines, all Trainee Probation Officers must undertake the Professional Qualification in Probation to qualify and perform the work of a Probation Officer. In light of the unification of the new Probation Service and the new Target Operating Model for Probation, the time is right to review the PQiP.
The PQiP as delivered currently (pursuant to the Community Justice Learning (CJL) Matrix – available as an annex) is a blend of:
• academic modules at Level 6 (and any required academic modules at Level 5 (as applicable)) to be delivered by the Contractor,
• a Vocational Qualification at Level 5 delivered by the Authority;
• and In- business Learning delivered by the Authority.
Work is underway within the Probation Service to review the PQiP. Any reforms to the Professional Qualification in Probation will still result in academic modules being delivered at Level 6. We anticipate that there will be large elements of the training scheme that will continue to be delivered by the Authority as trainees learn “on the job”. It is the academic qualification at Level 6 (and any foundation/access modules) that we will be contracting for via this opportunity.
The Authority will conduct market engagement in June 2021 to inform service and contract design. Details regarding the initial market engagement can be found below; additional events may be publicised in due course.
If you would like to register to hear more background information about this and receive a market engagement questionnaire, please register on https://ministryofjusticecommercial.bravosolution.co.uk
Expressions of interest and market engagement responses to the questionnaire should be submitted to the Authority via BRAVO/Jaggaer no later than: 22nd June 2021 12 pm noon if you wish to participate in the market engagement exercise
