Restorative Justice and Mediation Services for Cumbria

Tender description

The Police & Crime Commissioner for Cumbria (Commissioner) is conducting a Request for Information (RFI) exercise to engage with the market, to inform the further development of draft proposals for the future service delivery of Restorative Justice (RJ) & Mediation Services. The Commissioner is seeking to gain market insight from providers with a track record of proven knowledge and experience in delivering RJ & Mediation Services. To aid with the review of the existing provision, to assess the level of interest in a potential tender opportunity, seek to further understand market capability in terms of contracting and delivery options. Interested individuals/organisations will need to register their interest on this portal to access the background information, draft specification, and to return the RFI responses by the cut-off date of 3rd September 2021 at 12:00hrs. The Commissioner is intending to host Market Engagement sessions on 8th September 2021, as one to one session lasting up to an hour with each individual or organisation that have registered their interest & returned RFI response. These sessions will be organised & confirmed directly after the cut-off date. It is important to note that this RFI is not a call for competition and as such potential providers will need to express an interest in any future tender opportunity once a contract notice is published in Find a Tender (FTS) and on Contracts Finder. It should be noted that this RFI invites individuals and organisations to express an interest in this RFI exercise only, and it is NOT a pre-qualification questionnaire, and is NOT part of any pre-qualification or selection process. This RFI is intended as an awareness, communication, and information gathering exercise. An expression of interest is no indication of a commitment to participate in the RFI process nor does it infer any preferential or special status on those individuals and organisations who express an interest in the RFI exercise.
