Expressions of interest invited for Greater Manchester Integrated Rehabilitative Services – Welfare Support Services

25 Mar 2022 - 09:40 by michelle.foster

Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA) and Greater Manchester Probation Service (GMPS) are inviting expressions of interest to be submitted by GM VCSE organisations to deliver services for people who are on probation. The ambition is to develop a ‘total system' of rehabilitative welfare services across Greater Manchester by working with VCSE organisations. They would like to work with services where they already exist and bolstering those services to enhance the following provision:

  • Emotional regulation and decision making
  • Wellbeing support and healthy choices
  • Behaviour change
  • Family support and mediation

The service will need to have buildings with public access and be delivering similar support for local people as well as being willing to work with People on Probation. The initial development delivery period will be until 31 March 2023. The overall funding for this development period is in the region of £1.2m to deliver a welfare service hub in each of the 10 local authority areas of Greater Manchester. Following this development period, GMCA/GMPS shall undertake a further commission to deliver services on a Greater Manchester footprint from April 23 for 3 years.

GMCA/GMPS are also keen to work with potential providers to develop a ‘Lead Co-ordinator’ function to enable a single conversation between the providers and GMCA/GMPS.
