The Police & Crime Commissioner for Warwickshire (PCC) invites tenders from qualified providers for the delivery of restorative justice services across Warwickshire. The aim is to support victims, offenders, and communities through facilitated dialogue, mediation, and reconciliation processes that promote healing and accountability The requirement will be tendered in the following lots: • Lot 1 – Restorative Justice (RJ) service • Lot 2 – Anti-social behaviour (ASB) / non-crime restorative service Summary of requirements: • Lot 1 – The Restorative Justice (RJ) service will provide direct support to victims and perpetrators of crime across the county through effective RJ practices. The RJ service will form part of a wider multi-agency approach to justice and support services in Warwickshire and will be expected to work closely with a range of partners, including the Lot 2 service provider. • Lot 2 – The anti-social behaviour (ASB) / non-crime restorative service, which will sit alongside several partners in a Multi-Agency Restorative Justice Hub (MARJH). The service will deliver restorative interventions for cases arising across the Warwickshire community, where a crime has not occurred. The service will provide an accessible, proportionate, and effective early intervention option, within a wider Multi-Agency Restorative Justice Hub (MARJH). NB: Bidder(s) may only bid for one lot. This tender falls under the Light Touch Regime below threshold, therefore is outside The Procurement Act 2023. Contract Term • Lot 1 - The contract shall be for an initial period of 3 years with the option to extend of up to a further 2 x 12 months. • Lot 2 - The contract shall be for an initial period of 1 year which will run as a pilot with an option to extend for up to a further 4 x 12 months. The PCC has allocated an annual budget of £55,000 for the provision of services for Lot 1. This budget will remain fixed for the period of the contract. The PCC is very keen that the service provides good value for money through the delivery of effective and efficient interventions. Bids and services that focus resources on front line service delivery are encouraged. The PCC has allocated an annual budget of £25,000 for the provision of Lot 2 services. This budget is provided as part of a pilot project. If the pilot is successful and funding is available over the extension periods, the funding envelope will remain the same. The provision of Lot 2 services will be excluded from the PCC's annual grants process. Similarly to Lot 1 services, the PCC is very keen to ensure that Lot 2 services provide good value for money through the delivery of effective and efficient interventions. Bids and services that focus resources on front line service delivery are encouraged. The funding for these services is partly reliant on Government grant. Where grant funding is used to fund services, the terms and conditions of that grant will apply fully to the service provider.
