DF Dependency and Recovery for Humberside

In June 2020 the Ministry of Justice established the Probation Services Dynamic Framework (PSDF) to allow the Authority and Participating Bodies to purchase services to deliver rehabilitative and resettlement Interventions. The Dynamic Framework and subsequent Call-Off Competitions are conducted pursuant to Section 7 of the PCR 2015 (Social and Other Specific Services) the 'Light Touch Regime'.

The Supplier shall deliver a Dependency and Recovery Service by working in partnership with other organisations to enhance user access and support. The Dependency and Recovery Services should not duplicate provision where Clinical Commissioned Services are already in place in the applicable Geographical Location (which shall include the provision of Community Sentence Treatment Requirements). Dependency and Recovery Services can be delivered as part of a Rehabilitation Activity Requirement ("RAR") on a Community or Suspended Sentence Order, to those on Licence or Post Sentence Supervision and convicted. Where applicable, Dependency and Recovery Services must support a Person on Probation’s transition in conjunction with prison substance misuse services from Young Offenders Institute ("YOI") or an adult male prison back into the community and focus on the place where they will reside (not the prison they are released from). Additional information: The specific evaluation and award criteria for each competition were detailed in full in the procurement documents for the call off competition. The procurement documents are published on the Authority's esourcing portal.
