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 inline with the Light Touch Regime of PCR2015.

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

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 set out in the PSDF Contract Notice and subsequent documentation.

The Authority has so far conducted 107 call off competitions through the PSDF and this Contract Award Notice details the award of [89] of these competitions. Additional services may be procured for Day 1, details of which will be published in additional Contract Award Notice(s).

The Authority procured the following services;

  • 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;

In some regions, no compliant bids were recieved. The Authroity carryied out further market analysis, which infomred the decision to re-run some of the National Probation Service regional level competitions at Police and Crime Commissioner regional level. Accommodation Wales has now been awarded to 4 Police and Crime Commissioner regions. Further competition re-runs are in progress and these will be detailed in future notices.

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 so, pursuant to Regulation 74 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 DF 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.
