Description

New Chance is an intervention for women over 18 years, intended to divert them away from entering further into the criminal justice system. West Midlands Police are the single referring agency into the service and make referrals primarily through Out of Court Resolutions but may also make voluntary referrals where appropriate.
The New Chance service aims to: 
	- Divert women from the formal criminal justice process by providing an effective community-based alternative to prosecution or conviction and potential short custodial sentences. 
	- Address underlying and root issues contributing to offending behaviour, including but not limited to substance use, mental health, housing instability, domestic abuse and socio-economic factors, through support tailored to an individual woman’s needs.  
	- Provide trauma- and gender-responsive support that recognises and meets the specific needs of women in the criminal justice system, considering their individual experiences. 
	- Improve community safety by promoting rehabilitation, reducing re-offending rates and improving women’s outcomes e.g. education, training and employment and family relationships. Achieved through empowering women to lead safe and healthy lives.  
	- Work collaboratively with statutory and non-statutory community-based partners to ensure a coordinated multi-disciplinary approach that leverages local knowledge and resources to achieve the best outcomes for women.

Framework VCSOs/SMEs Contracts (re-opening PDPS) for NHS Mid and South Essex ICB

NHS Mid and South Essex Integrated Care Board (herein referred to as the 'Authority') seeks suitably qualified Providers for the establishment of this Framework Agreement for the provision of Voluntary Sector and Specialist SME Contracts in Mid and South Essex (previously referred to as the 'Pseudo Dynamic Purchasing System PDPS'). The overarching contract period of this Framework Agreement is from the 01/04/2024 - 31/03/2028 (a total of 4-years), with this Tranche 2 (the re-opening of the framework) period from the 18/06/2025 - 17/06/2026. The Framework will re-open on annual basis, as outlined in the tender documentation. The key objectives of this Framework Agreement (FA) are to: - Establish a compliant contracting mechanism to allow the Authority to quickly source appropriate, suitable, capable providers to deliver place-based services. -To establish an Approved Provider List of providers who have met and continue to meet the Authority's minimum selection criteria over the term of the FA. -To establish a transparent Call-Off and Award Procedure that can be adapted to the individual requirements of each Call-Off contract whereby the Authority can effectively narrow the pool of eligible providers from the Approved Provider List to those most appropriate and capable to be Invited to Tender based on pre-published Categories. The scope of services is a range of purpose led, place-based, supplementary community services that are uniquely suited to the Voluntary sector and small-to-medium-enterprises (SMEs). The framework aims to enable NHS MSE ICB to develop a process that will support the community and voluntary organisations of any size to have a governance process in place to support with future commissioning and best utilise funding as it is available. The framework aims to enable Commissioners to best distribute funding and commission services at pace, particularly during in seasonal pressures, and to cover a wide range of support services within the MSE geographical footprint. Services in this FA include Locality Specific Community Services, Voluntary Sector Specialised Services, Supplementary Community Services (Adults and Children's Services), and Supplementary Mental Health Services across the Mid and South Essex geography. This FA has no activity guarantee, with a minimum contract value of £0.00 per annum.

The minimum contract value of £0.00 pa and maximum indicative aggregate contract value £500million. This indicative value was calculated by using the Authority's actual annual spend across a wide range of voluntary, small and medium-sized enterprises, specialist and locality specific purpose led services across the entire geography of Mid and South Essex. Additional information: The Authority aims to procure such services via this FA (once it is established). Any services that do not align with the aims and objectives of this PDPS will be procured outside of this FA, in strict accordance with the Regulations. Under this FA the Authority may look to award a Call-Off Contract of between a minimum of 3 and maximum 24 months to a provider who has been pre-approved and gained entry onto the Approved Provider List. The headline mechanisms for undertaking a Call Off Procedure under this FA are set out later in the procurement pack and will be detailed within each Call-Off Invitation to Tender (ITT). In order to be accepted onto the FA, all Bidders responding to the Stage 1: Request to Participate will complete the mandatory Selection Questionnaire, Qualification and Technical envelopes within the e-procurement portal.

All potential Bidders who wish to join the FA must provide information about their proposed ability to provide the Service that is the subject of this FA, in relation to the following 'Categories' of information.

Communities First Behaviour Change

This research project will use appropriate evidence-based behaviour change theories to identify factors (e.g. personal, institutional, or systemic) that are barriers or enablers to embedding the CF approach across Northumberland County Council and key partners. The results of this analysis will support NCC and relevant partner organisations to understand and address these barriers and enablers to move further and faster to adopting the Communities First approach. Methods and measurement The Provider will propose their methodology in their tender submission for this work, but broadly it will be expected to include: • Selection and application of appropriate evidence-based behaviour change theory/theories to underpin the analysis. • Identification of the target behaviours that professionals and/or organisations need to adopt in order to implement the Communities First approach (also involve identifying current behaviours that do not support the approach and need to change). This would involve initial scoping work with NCC and key system partners to identify the target behaviours. • Use of appropriate qualitative research methodologies to analyse barriers and enablers for professionals and the wider organisation to delivering Communities First approach, using the evidence based behaviour change theory (see point 1 above). • Include both retrospective evaluation of adoption to date and analysis of anticipated barriers and enablers for wider adoption of the Communities First approach. • Provide relevant recommendations to support successful implementation and maintenance of Communities First approach across NCC and key system partners.
