Description

Following publication of contract notice ref 2013/S 183-315991, successful bidders acquired the Community Rehabilitation Companies (CRCs) and contracts were awarded on 5 December 2014 for the delivery of probation services, with contracts entered on 18 December 2014. The scope of services was a rehabilitation programme which involved the split of the then current probation and offender resettlement services into a single national public probation service (National Probation Service (NPS)) and the setting up of a series of independently owned and operated Community Rehabilitation Companies (CRCs) to deliver rehabilitation (probation and resettlement) services in 21 Contract Package Areas (CPAs) across England and Wales. The contracts were for a 7-year initial term with an option to extend for a further 3 years. The contracts are due to expire on 25 June 2021, following service of termination notices in December 2018 and subsequent extensions being agreed in December 2019. The GBP (£) figures quoted within the original contract award notice were the maximum anticipated, total, real value of the contracts if the contracts had been extended to the fullest amount allowed under the contract and payment by results had been paid at the maximum level in all periods including all extensions.
