Market Engagement & Industry Day - HMPPS Creating Future Opportunities Evolution Programme

Following the market engagement events held in 2022, CFO Evolution will be holding a number of industry days to provide an update on the various aspects of the CFO Evolution programme and provide potential providers an opportunity to network with other sector providers.

The CFO Evolution programme will build on the successes of the CFO3 and CFO Activity Hub programmes to create a single delivery programme which will complement existing HMPPS core services and provide resettlement support to individuals in custody and the community. Contract award period will be the fourth quarter of 2023, with contracts mobilising from January 2024 (delivery from April 2024), these dates may be subject to change. Initial contract period will be 36 months (including 3 months for mobilisation). Extension options are defined within the specification.

The MoJ will hold the initial event on Friday 17th February 2023 between 10am and 3pm at the CJC Manchester and a virtual event via MS Teams on Friday 17th March 2023 between 10am and 3pm. Interested organisations should respond to the [email protected] mailbox clearly state which event you wish to attend and details of attendees, (name, role, email & contact phone number) by Friday 10th February 2023 for the Manchester event and by Tuesday 14th March 2023 for the virtual event.

Providers should also indicate if they are willing to engage with other providers in the networking element of the event as either a lead provider or potential subcontractor. Links to the virtual event will be sent closer to the date of the event.

This notice relates to an engagement opportunity and is not a call for competition or an invitation to take part in pre-qualification proceedings.

Additional information: The CFO Evolution programme has four aims:

Aim 1: To provide a demonstrable sense of purpose for specific cohorts of offenders with complex needs by presenting them with clearly defined progression routes spanning both the custodial and community components of their total sentence.

Aim 2: To provide safe spaces where offenders can, and importantly are keen to, engage in a range of positive activities designed to foster community buy-in, increase wellbeing and develop the skills required to navigate through the array of issues that present barriers to successful community reintegration,

Aim 3: To increase effective engagement with mainstream or core services for those groups traditionally excluded,

Aim 4: To encourage participation in activities to assist individuals to lead law abiding lives.
