    Brief

    This is a contract award notice for a lived experience engagement service commissioned through the Ministry of Justice's Probation Service Dynamic Framework. The successful provider will deliver a structured programme enabling people on probation and in prison to meaningfully influence the design and delivery of probation services across the South West region. The service focuses on ensuring that individuals' views, experiences, and insights are systematically heard, considered, and acted upon to drive continuous service improvement. The contract covers five Probation Delivery Units: Bath and North East Somerset, Bristol and South Gloucestershire, Gloucestershire, Somerset, and Swindon and Wiltshire. This is an award notice for a completed competition rather than an open tender opportunity.
