    Brief

    The Ministry of Justice is awarding contracts to deliver a lived experience engagement programme across the Southwest probation regions under the Probation Services Dynamic Framework (PSDF). The successful organisation will engage people on probation and in prison to gather their views, experiences, and insights on service design and delivery. This structured programme ensures that service users have meaningful and consistent opportunities to influence probation services and contribute to continuous improvement. The service covers two geographic areas: Lot 1 includes Bath and North East Somerset, Bristol, South Gloucestershire, Gloucestershire, Somerset, and Swindon and Wiltshire probation delivery units; Lot 2 covers Cornwall and Isles of Scilly, Devon and Torbay, Dorset, and Plymouth probation delivery units. Suppliers should demonstrate experience in lived experience engagement, stakeholder consultation, and service improvement methodologies.
