    In June 2020 the Ministry of Justice established the Probation Services Dynamic Framework (PSDF) to allow the Authority and other Participating Bodies to purchase services to deliver rehabilitative and resettlement Interventions. The Dynamic Framework and subsequent Call-Off Competitions are conducted in line with the Light Touch Regime of PCR2015. The Authority have 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. Information on previously awarded competitions through the PSDF can be found within the PSDF Contract Notice 2020/S 114-277986. 17 of the initially competed PSDF competitions resulted in some call off competition failure. Section VI.3 of the Contract Notice for the DF published on 15 June 2020 gave notice that the Authority could directly award a call off contract pursuant to Regulation 32 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 where there is a call off competition failure. Accordingly, after due consideration, the Authority decided to make direct awards in each of these areas pursuant to Regulation 32(2)(a) on grounds of competition failure and Regulation 32(2)(c) (unforeseen extreme urgency). The Authority undertook extensive market engagement in the design of the DF and engaged with tenderers answering clarification questions after the call-off competitions were launched. Suppliers had indicated via the Dynamic Framework that they would be willing to deliver services in the PCC areas with failed bids. There was no indication that one or more competitions would fail and such failures therefore constitute unforeseeable events. Further, these failures have been brought about by conditions of extreme urgency as there is insufficient time to comply with the relevant time limits to re-run these competitions and to enable successful tenderers to mobilise in time for service commencement on 26 June 2021; by reason whereof, direct awards are necessary. The Ministry of Justice (the ‘Authority’) conducts this procurement under the ‘Light Touch Regime’. Services covered in this notice are; • Seven Personal Wellbeing (PWB) contracts; • Eight Women’s Services contracts (Accommodation; Education Training and Employment; Finance Benefit and Debt; Emotional Wellbeing; Lifestyle and Associates; Family and Significant Others; Social Inclusion; Women's Cohort) • Two Personal Wellbeing (PWB) Young Adults contracts. Additional information: The Public Procurement (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020/1319 The Regulation 32 procedure was ‘launched’ in 2021 when the Authority contacted economic operators in relation to the procedure. As the procedure was launched after IP completion day, this Contract Award notice is being published on the UK e-notification service, Find a Tender.

Procedure rationaleThe Authority considers the award of the contracts without prior publication of a contract notice is permitted by Regulation 32(2)(a) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 on the basis that no and/or no compliant tenders were received in the [17 call-off competitions run under the DF. No bids were received in the following call-off competitions: seven Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) areas for Personal Wellbeing (PWB) contracts; seven for Women’s Services contracts; and two PCC areas for Young Adults in Wales. No compliant tenders were received for one call-off competition for a Women’s Services contract. Section VI.3 of the Contract Notice for the DF published on 15 June 2020 (see IV.2.1) gave notice that the Authority could directly award a call-off contract pursuant to Regulation 32 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 where there is a call-off competition failure. Accordingly, after due consideration, the Authority has decided to make direct awards in each of these areas pursuant to Regulation 32(2)(a) on grounds of competition failure. Further, the Authority relies on Regulation 32(2)(c). The Authority undertook extensive market engagement in the design of the DF and engaged with tenderers answering clarification questions after the call-off competitions were launched. Suppliers had indicated via the Dynamic Framework that they would be willing to deliver services in the PCC areas with failed bids. There was no indication that one or more competitions would fail and such failures therefore constitute unforeseeable events. These failures have brought about conditions of extreme urgency as there was insufficient time to comply with the relevant time limits to re-run these competitions and to enable successful tenderers to mobilise in time for service commencement on 26 June 2021, by reason whereof, direct awards are necessary. The Authority approached potential providers pursuant to a transparent methodology and following further assessment and dialogue made its selection accordingly.
