Opportunity overview

PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS NOTICE IS LINKED TO THE PREVIOUS UK3 PLANNED PROCUREMENT NOTICE - PROCUREMENT ID (OCID): ocds-h6vhtk-04fa05 The Authority is seeking to procure the second generation of rehabilitative services for Community Support for men to help them address rehabilitative needs and to desist from offending, across England (other than Greater Manchester, where a procurement for similar services will be led by GM Combined Authority) and Wales. PLEASE NOTE: ALL FIGURES IN THIS PART OF THIS NOTICE ARE INCLUDING VAT, HOWEVER THE LOT BREAKDOWNS EXCLUDE VAT. The budget for the men's services is £854,446,832 (inc. VAT) for the full term of the contracts (optional extensions included), final values will be confirmed once the spending review and governance is completed. There is , an indicative award date of October 2026 and an anticipated indicative go-live date of March 2027. The proposed contract length shall be 5 years, with the option to extend by up to 3 further years. Please note for the purposes of this Tender opportunity the Funding Partner will be awarding the contract based on £854,446,832 (inc. VAT) as per the value stated above. Suppliers should note that the Funding Partner is currently undertaking an internal spending review. As a result, the funding allocated to this procurement may be subject to change prior to the award of the contract. The Total Contract value is aimed to range between £854,446,832 (inc. VAT) and £1,128,855,881 (inc. VAT) but the Funding Partner reserves the right to award below the minimum and maximum values if the outcome of the spending review changes our position. The Funding Partner aims to not go below 13% of the lower value and any changes will be communicated at the appropriate time in the procurement. The men's services will provide a combined, whole-person, individualised service to help service users: • Build supportive relationships and social networks. This might include family relationships, friends, community groups and peer communities. • Connect to a range of community-based activities and resources that matter to them. This could include volunteering, sport or constructive leisure activities. • Progress towards recovery from drug or alcohol use and gambling. • Achieve and maintain sustainable outcomes in relation to housing, employment and financial management. The Supplier, who will undertake the role of lead bidder, will be responsible for the delivery of all services in the specification. It is envisaged that to deliver the whole breadth of services, a supply chain may be utilised under the direction of the Supplier, who will instruct, engage and collaborate with a supply chain to ensure successful delivery of the required services. Please note, these new combined services will replace the existing separate pathway services previously procured which cover Dependency & Recovery, Personal Wellbeing, Accommodation, Finance, Benefits Debt and Education, Training and Employment.

Published risks
In line with Section 74 and Schedule 8 of the Procurement Act 2023, and recognising that this is a light touch contract, the Funding Partner has prepared a list of Known Risks which, at the time of publication, are accurate and relevant. These are available below: Inflation - High CPI Impacting Contract Viability: Unexpected increases in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) may significantly raise the cost of delivering contracted services, potentially rendering the contract financially unviable over time. This risk doesn't change the position and mechanism provided in the ITT and contract documentation and this method should be applied when modelling the solution and which may result in a change of scope and/or contract value. Departmental Reprioritisation: There is a risk that changes in government policy, ministerial priorities, or funding allocations particularly following a General Election, departmental restructuring, or HM Treasury spending reviews may significantly impact the delivery of probation services. This includes potential shifts in focus between custodial and community-based interventions, changes to the Integrated Offender Management (IOM), or the introduction of new rehabilitation programmes (e.g. through the Reducing Reoffending Delivery Plan), resulting in a change of scope and/or contract value. Co-commissioning Mid-contract: There is a strategic risk associated with the need to introduce co-commissioned services during the lifetime of the contract to maximise outcome for service users across multiple public sector organisations. The current commissioning may not be sufficiently flexible to accommodate new or evolving partnership arrangements once the contract is underway, resulting in a change of scope and/or contract value.

Procedure

Features
Contracts will be competed through a competitive flexible procedure, following a two--stage (optional third-stage) tender process of written tender responses. Stage 1 - Procurement Specific Questionnaire: The Procurement Specific Questionnaire (PSQ) is a set of questions that a Supplier must satisfy to be able to go to the next stage of this procurement. These questions will relate to the Supplier’s legal and financial capacity as well as their technical ability. Suppliers will indicate which of the 27 lots they wish to be invited to tender for in this stage. After outcome letters are issued, Suppliers who passed all of the PSQ stages will be invited to Stage 2. Stage 2 - Invitation to Tender: Suppliers who successfully pass Stage 1 PSQ shall be invited to Stage 2 ITT. For this stage, the procurement process shall compete 27 separate Lots, which will result in a maximum total of 27 separate Contracts. The Lots shall be competed in two separate competition waves as outlined in the procurement description. The tender documents shall contain quality questions, and a financial response template along with a draft contract, and associated schedules which require a written tender response for each Lot respectively. Stage 3 - Preferred Supplier Stage: OPTIONAL STAGE ONLY. Once all Suppliers have been notified of the intention to award for each respective Lot, the Funding Partner will determine whether a further stage, known as the Preferred Supplier Stage, will be enacted. This stage is not mandatory and may be enacted at the discretion of the Funding Partner. If enacted, the Preferred Supplier Stage will cover the following: Contract Finalisation - ensure all contractual provisions are clearly understood and agreed in line with the terms set out in the procurement process.   Mobilisation Planning - agree key activities, responsibilities and timelines ahead of commencement of the contract.  Mitigating Reservations - the purpose of these discussions is to reduce, mitigate or remove the risk caused by reservations that may arise during the contract term. It is not permitted as part of these discussions to alter the bid in a material way that would have changed the result of the tender process.   Contract Management Setup - Establishing governance, reporting requirements, data requirements, responsibilities and timelines for regular contract management activity.
