About the Department

The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) is a major government department, at the heart of the justice system. Responsible for courts, prisons and probation services, we work to ensure sentences are served and offenders are given rehabilitation opportunities to become law-abiding citizens.

The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) has one of the largest and most complex spend profiles in central government. The Commercial and Contract Management Directorate (CCMD) is responsible for coordinating procurement and contract management across the MoJ, its agencies and non-departmental public bodies.

The MoJ spends £7.5bn a year and manages over 1600 active contracts, all of which are sourced and managed by CCMD. We are running some of the most groundbreaking programmes such as Prison Reform and His Majesty’s Courts and Tribunal Service Reform. The scope of our contracts ranges from building, maintenance and the operation of Prisons, Courts and Young Offender establishments through to food for prison dogs. The directorate also buys and manages contracts for feeding up to 80,000 prisoners, the secure escorting of prisoners from numerous establishments based around the country and translation services.

CCMD is organised into category teams, each with an interesting portfolio of contracts and diverse customers and suppliers to manage. We also have systems, programme management office, supplier relationship and risk management teams who work across all areas.

Scope

Portfolio - Rehabilitation – Probation Services

The Rehabilitation portfolio within the Ministry of Justice’s Commercial & Contract Management Directorate – part of the Government Commercial Function – lead on the procurements of all outsourced probation related services such as accommodation, education and finance, and unique services such as dependency and recovery.  To enable us to commission rehabilitation services across 14 categories (and more) we have established and maintain a 10 year, £4bn dynamic framework, the largest dynamic purchasing system in the public sector.  In addition to the dynamic framework, we have also implemented and manage a first of its kind grants scheme with unique processes designed to create greater accessibility for the VCSE market to public sector contracting. 

Person Specification

The probation system supports more than 243,000 a year in their journey to rehabilitation, so no day looks quite like the other and we're always ready to be responsive to an emerging need. Day-to-day you could be working to sup
