The purpose of the EERSS is to:

• Be responsive to the needs of people with protected characteristics and draw on the principles of mentoring and advocacy (broadly defined) in supporting people on probation lead fulfilling and crime-free lives.
There are two lots:
Lot 1: Female Enhanced Engagement & Relational Support Service for the OPD Pathway for 40 women across London.
Lot 2: Male Enhanced Engagement & Relational Support Service for the OPD Pathway for 60 men across London.
Each Lot's contract duration is for a 4.5 year period, with an optional extension of a further 2 years.
NHS England will seek to award one contract for each of the tender Lots.
