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 Authority has utilised the PSDF to procure the following range of services to meet The Authority’s requirements that must be live on Day 1 of delivery which is the 26th June 2021:

  • Accommodation;
  • Education Training and Employment;
  • Personal Wellbeing (Emotional Wellbeing; Lifestyle and Associates; Family and Significant Others; Social Inclusion);
  • Personal Wellbeing Young Adults (Emotional Wellbeing; Lifestyle and Associates; Family and Significant Others; Social Inclusion; Young Adults Cohort)
  • Women's Services (Accommodation; Education Training and Employment; Finance Benefit and Debt; Emotional Wellbeing; Lifestyle and Associates; Family and Significant Others; Social Inclusion; Women's Cohort)

The initial approach was to procure for the following services at the following regional levels, depending on the requirements;

  • Accommodation procured at the National Probation Service regional level;
  • Education Training and Employment procured at the National Probation Service regional level;
  • Personal Wellbeing (Emotional Wellbeing; Lifestyle and Associates; Family and Significant Others; Social Inclusion) procured at Police and Crime Commissioner regional level;.
  • Personal Wellbeing Young Adults (Emotional Wellbeing; Lifestyle and Associates; Family and Significant Others; Social Inclusion; Young Adults Cohort) procured at Police and Crime Commissioner regional level;
  • Women's Services (Accommodation; Education Training and Employment; Finance Benefit and Debt; Emotional Wellbeing; Lifestyle and Associates; Family and Significant Others; Social Inclusion; Women's Cohort) procured at Police and Crime Commissioner regional level;

Only bidders that were qualified onto the PSDF within the appropriate financial thresholds, relevant regions and the appropriate service categories were invited to the Call-Off Competitions. All guidance on this is available within the PSDF Contract Notice and subsequent documentation.

This Contract Award Notice details the award of 4 of these competitions, the prior award notice (2020/S

114-277986) published in April 2021, detailed the previously completed 89 competitions. It is likely that there will be additional services procured for Day 1, these outcomes will be published in due course through the appropriate channels.

Publisher note: The majority of the services within scope of the DF are listed within Schedule 3 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (PCR) and pursuant to Section 7 (Regulations 74-77 of the PCR) are subject to the ‘Light Touch Regime’ or 'LTR' under which the Authority is not obliged to comply with the full requirements of the PCR. The PSDF is described as a framework agreement, but has features of a dynamic purchasing system; it is not subject to either Regulation 33 or 34 of the PCR, and Regulation 28 does not apply to this procurement. This is irrespective of the use of this standard form notice (the Authority is unable to use the LTR notice for technical compatibility reasons). The Authority will comply with its equal treatment, transparency, non-discrimination and proportionality obligations throughout the procurement.
