In plain English
The council wants a supplier to run supervised reparation and unpaid work for children and young people who have offended and received an out-of-court or court sentence. Reparation means making amends, either directly to the victim or, where that is not possible, to the wider community. The estimated value is £250,000.
What the buyer wants
• Deliver supervised reparation and unpaid work sessions that let young offenders make amends to their victims or to the community. • Promote positive behaviour to help young people avoid reoffending and integrate into their community. • Link sessions to programmes that improve young people's education, training and employment prospects.
Requirements
What could rule a small business out: The excerpt names no specific qualifications, insurance or financial thresholds, but because the council requires that young people do not pose a risk to the public or themselves during sessions, a small firm would need to show it can supervise young offenders safely, and the notice was cut off so the full requirements were not visible.
