Justice Outreach (Inverness and Ross-shire)

The Highland Council is in the planning stage of a procurement process titled "Justice Outreach (Inverness and Ross-shire)," which falls under the general public services industry category. The procurement aims to provide outreach support to offenders transitioning into community life, focusing on life skills for independent living, relationship building, housing, and employment opportunities. The location for service delivery is Inverness and Ross-shire and surrounding areas, with key delivery dates projected from July/August 2025 to 31st March 2026.

Businesses interested in offering these services are required to express their interest and submit details no later than 12 noon on Friday, 6th June 2025. While it is currently in the 'planned' stage, it is expected to move to tender around June/July 2025, making use of Public Contracts Scotland as the procurement method. This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses with expertise in community justice services, social work, and offender rehabilitation to engage with a substantial local government project.

Companies capable of providing tailored outreach programmes and support in skills development will find this contract particularly suited to their capabilities, especially if they can bring innovative solutions for integrating offenders back into the community. Additionally, businesses experienced in handling regional projects in Inverness or Ross-shire and surrounding areas will likely have an advantage. Those interested should prepare to submit their strategic approach to service delivery by 5th June 2025 to participate in this promising prospect for business growth.
