Request for Information: Out of Court Resolution (OoCR) Referral Service

Description

Warwickshire Police are seeking to engage with organisations who can provide an Out of Court Resolution (OoCR) referral service. These will be providers with a regional presence with access to a range of diverse educational, diversionary and interventions for offenders of crime who would otherwise be heading to the courts via a prosecution route. This Request for Information seeks to identify potential providers. The aims of the service would include: • Prevent reoffending by engaging proactively with offenders to identify the root cause of their offending, address, challenge and change offending behaviour in partnership choosing from a suite of prescriptive services within the county. • Reduce repeat offending, supporting offenders to take responsibility for their behaviour and face a consequence for their actions with a view to making better life choices. • Ensure offenders face consequences thus improving victim satisfaction and public confidence in the criminal justice system. • Improve the quality of service for the victim whilst increasing engagement and participation in the OoCR process. • Improve detection rates. • Improve the sense of community wellbeing through reducing the fear of crime. • Reduce demand on front line officers. It should be noted that we are particularly interested in potential providers who can demonstrate current experience of providing similar services to police forces and associated agencies. This is a preliminary market engagement exercise and is purely for the purpose of information gathering in order to inform the procurement strategy going forward. To respond to this RFI please complete the RFI questionnaire contained within the document on the Warwickshire Police In-tend tendering portal details below. Any questions relating to this procurement procedure must be made via the Correspondence function on the In-tend portal. THE DEADLINE FOR THIS EXERCISE IS 12:00 MIDDAY 03RD JUNE 2025.
