Transforming Rehabilitation ‘preferred bidders’ announced
Today the Ministry of Justice announced the preferred bidders in the Transforming Rehabilitation competition. To see who has been selected in your area read the official Ministry of Justice announcement which includes a list of preferred bidders. We have released a statement which can be viewed in full here
“Changing people’s lives and reducing re-offending is the day to day business of the voluntary sector, and to see them at the heart of these reforms is an endorsement of the sector’s long-standing expertise and professionalism in supporting offenders and their families ... Although many of these partnerships are new we are sure that in developing their successful bids they have understood the importance of solid colloboration at a local level. It is here that they will find over 1400 voluntary and community groups that are fundamental to turning people’s lives around”. – Clive Martin, Director, Clinks
The ‘preferred bidder’ status refers to the partnerships that are now the only suppliers that the Ministry of Justice is in talks with to arrange the contracts for the delivery of Community Rehabilitation Companies (CRCs). Once the preferred bidder stage has concluded, the Ministry of Justice will receive best and final offers and then award the contracts to run the CRCs.
We are committed to supporting voluntary sector organisations, both those involved in new partnerships, and outside of them. In order to provide the best possible support we have dedicated staff on hand to answer your queries, simply email TRhelpline@clinks.org for help and advice.
