Interested in Supporting London Probation?

Tenders

The Corporate Procurement Unit is committed to stimulating the market and promoting transparency and fairness. As such, it encourages all tenders from £20,000 - 140,000 to be notified on both this website and the Supplier Route to Government site.

As a Non-Departmental Public Body, London Probation advertises all relevant opportunities over £140,000 in accordance with EC Directive 2004/18/EEC and the Public Contract Regulations 2006. ‘Residual services’ over this threshold will also normally be advertised through the Official Journal of the European Union (OJEU) but usually on a voluntary basis only.

Submitting innovative ideas

The Corporate Procurement Unit seeks to add value in everything it does and especially seeks to work with suppliers to reduce reoffending and improve value for money within London Probation’s operational delivery. Some suppliers often have ideas that could assist this but have little or no opportunity to present it to the business.

To address this, suppliers are encouraged to initially share their ideas through our team and we will pass to the most appropriate person for their consideration. However, we cannot guarantee that ideas can be progressed beyond concept stage. In addition, because of public sector procurement restrictions, we may need to compete via tender in order to progress such requirement.

Where such ideas are submitted by suppliers, London Probation will ensure that all information is managed in a commercially sensitive manner and with integrity surrounding potential property rights. Please read our Non-disclosure committment.

If you have an innovative idea (for example, a new programme for offenders) and would like the opportunity to share this with London Probation for consideration please complete our innovative concept form and return it to:

corporate.procurement@london.probation.gsi.gov.uk

General Expressions of Interest

If you are interested in working with London Probation but there are no specific contract opportunities, the Corporate Procurement Unit welcomes your submission of a general expression of interest.

Please complete our expression of interest form, which allows you to submit your company details. This will allow us to maintain a supplier database and market awareness and, where possible, contact you to inform you of up and coming opportunities. Please note however that it is not possible for us to guarantee such approach to you in the future and you are advised to regularly visit this website, the Supply2Gov website and the Official Journal of the European Union.
