HMPPS CFO Activity Hubs 

CALL FOR EXPRESSIONS OF EXPRESSION OF INTEREST

HM Prisons & Probation Service are commissioning Activity Hubs in community locations that will offer wide ranging tailored support for offenders – in particular those who are considered disadvantaged, facing multiple barriers to employment and not fully supported by existing programmes. 

Achieve North West intend to bid for HMPPS Activity Hubs in the North West contract package area. We are looking for Expressions of Interest from organisations of all sizes, who provide high quality services, to partner with us. We are seeking provision that will help participants not to re-offend, increase their access to mainstream opportunities and move them closer to the labour market. Offender participation will be voluntary. Hubs will provide bespoke support through the provision of activities focused on personal development, citizenship, social and economic integration into the community.

We are seeking provision including (please see draft specification on our portal for full details):

  • Arts including crafts, drama, media, music and dance; sports; delivery of one off community projects
  • Family support, relationship coaching, community development activity, literacy and numeracy, life skills, debt advice, work-related mentoring, accommodation advice and support
