Provision of anti-social behaviour (ASB) / non-crime restorative service

Description

Please note this notice is regarding a contract AWARD and is NOT a call for competition. The Police & Crime Commissioner for Warwickshire has awarded a contract 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 has been 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. Funding for this service is partly reliant on Government grant, and where such funding is used, the associated grant terms and conditions apply in full to the appointed service provider. This award has been made following an open one stage tender process. The procurement was conducted under the Light Touch Regime and falls below the relevant threshold, therefore it is outside the scope of the Procurement Act 2023.
