## About this tender

Ingeus enables better lives through employment, education, health & wellbeing services delivered in partnership with communities, employers and government. Through our HMPPS CFO3 programmes and two Community Rehabilitation Companies, we support 25,000 people a year with employment, resettlement and probation services.

Our HMPPS CFO3 programmes are delivered by our subsidiary company, APM UK, (acquired in 2019) who have delivered CFO programmes to improve the employment prospects of offenders since the Phase 1 programme began in 2009 across East Midlands, Yorkshire & Humber, North East and West Midlands. APM UK recruits offenders and delivers programme and post-programme support in local communities and prison settings via its own direct delivery and its managed partner network.

Ingeus are intending to tender for the HMPPS CFO Activity Hubs opportunity, expected in April 2020. This contract will be delivered in England and is due to commence in January 2021 for a duration of 32 months.

### Programme Aims

The Hub programme will have dual aims; to increase effective engagement with mainstream or core services and to encourage participation in activities to assist individuals to lead law abiding lives, to not re-offend and to move closer to the labour market.

Activity Hubs will be based in community locations and provide bespoke, tailored support in a safe and supportive environment for offenders to reintegrate into society through a range of meaningful activities.

These services will cover the following Activity-based categories:

- Human Citizenship - activities which develop the sense of self-worth, enabling participants to develop positive plans for the future.
- Community and Social Factors - activities which build personal resilience, strengthen support networks and upskill participants through developing tools, skills and links to support to overcome barriers.
- Interventions and Services - activities that clearly link to the reducing recidivism agenda. Most of these activities need to be accredited.

### Service Delivery

The Provision is voluntary for participants. Engagement will be focused on participants at risk of re-offending following release and those serving community sentences. Emphasis will be on effective targeting of the most appropriate participants, who are unlikely to benefit from other services as a result of facing complex barriers.

We are inviting Expressions of Interests from organisations of all sizes, particularly local organisations or community representatives, to support the engagement of and increase participant integration by delivering bespoke activity services in the Activity Hubs. Ideally, organisations have experience of supporting offenders/ex-offenders who have multiple, complex barriers to deliver tailored and engaging programme interventions to achieve a positive outcome. We are also interested in hearing from organisations who can provide Hub premises.

### Additional information: Our Partnership Approach

Strong partnerships underpin our services. Ingeus was rated 'Excellent' by the Merlin Standard for supply chain management in 2018, the highest rating. Our commitment to act with honesty and integrity is demonstrated in our proven track record working with a wide range of organisations to support and develop high quality services for our customers.

Ingeus are keen to work with a diverse supplier network for this opportunity. If you are a values driven provider with a track record of high quality delivery and performance in related services, with demonstrable local employer and stakeholder relationships, we would like to hear from you.

The deadline for completion is Monday 27th April at 5pm.
