Description
In relation to the previously advertised tender opportunity (Notice Identifier: 2025/S 000-061252, Procurement Identifier: ocds-h6vhtk-05a5ba), the Police and Crime Commissioner for Warwickshire (PCC) received no compliant bids for Lot 2, which related to the provision of an Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB) / Non-Crime Restorative Service. As a result, the PCC has taken the decision to reapproach the market for this specific service only. This reissue applies solely to Lot 2; the other lot within the original procurement may proceed to award as planned.
Following the discovery that Lot 2 in the original procurement could not be awarded, a decision has been made to reissue this opportunity as soon as possible. This will allow for consideration of any voluntary standstill period and ensure alignment, as far as practicable, with the Restorative Justice service.
This notice serves to inform the market that Lot 2 from the original procurement has been terminated and will not be awarded. The PCC now invites tenders from suitably qualified providers for the delivery of restorative justice services across Warwickshire, specifically for cases where no crime has occurred. The service will form part of a Multi-Agency Restorative Justice Hub (MARJH) and will deliver restorative interventions for incidents of anti-social behaviour and other non-crime harms. The aim is to provide an accessible, proportionate, and effective early intervention option that supports victims, offenders, and communities through facilitated dialogue, mediation, and reconciliation.
The contract will be awarded for an initial pilot period of one year, with the option to extend for up to four additional periods of twelve months each. The PCC has allocated an annual budget of £25,000 for the delivery of this service. This funding is provided as part of a pilot project, and if the pilot is successful and funding remains available, the same funding envelope will apply to any extension periods. The service will be excluded from the PCC's annual grants process. Providers are encouraged to demonstrate value for money and focus resources on effective frontline service delivery.
Funding for this service is partly reliant on Government grant, and where such funding is used, the associated grant terms and conditions will apply in full to the appointed service provider.
This procurement is being conducted under the Light Touch Regime and falls below the relevant threshold, therefore it is outside the scope of the Procurement Act 2023. The tendering process will be managed via the PCC's e-tendering portal, Sell2 (https://sell2.in-tend.co.uk/blpd/publictenders). Suppliers can access the opportunity free of charge by registering on the portal, logging in, navigating to the 'Portals' section, and selecting "Connect with Organisation" for Warwickshire Police.
