NOMS regions
Supplying us with services
The Regional Offender Manager for London is responsible for maintaining Service Level Agreements (SLAs) and commissioning services across the region from public, private, voluntary and community sectors and faith providers.
Join the National Provider Network
The NOMS National Provider Network (NPN) will be an online resource providing supplier information for both providers and commissioners of offender management and related services.
It will be built around a database of supplier details called the Provider Network Pool, which is now open.
Register your organisation's details to become part of the Provider Network Pool today (new window).
For more information about supplying us with services, read Improving Prison and Probation Services: Public Value Partnerships (new window), which sets out our plans to extend contestability and partnership working.
Jointly with all ROMs, London will be publishing its Regional Commissioning Plan later this year.
A commissioning plan for London
The London Regional Commissioning Plan will set out how the London Region will work with suppliers of offender management services.
The plan will:
- inform negotiations with Her Majesty's Prison Service and probation areas for next year’s Service Level Agreements
- set the direction for NOMS in the London region for the next few years, subject to annual review
The regional plan will reflect the offender needs profile in the region, the sentencing trends of the London courts, and the capacity and capability of current providers.
It will also identify any gaps in provision of offender management services, now and anticipated in the future, and outline the extent to which these gaps can be closed with the resources London expects to have at its disposal next year. This may well involve making decisions about what London can afford to do less of, as well as what it may need to do more of, as London region invest in services to reduce reoffending.
The work of the pathways which form London's Regional Reducing Reoffending Delivery Plan (new window) will strongly inform the development of the plan. In particular, priority and prolific offenders and drugs strategies, MAPPA work and community safety structures need to be fully integrated into our thinking. Equally, good read across needs to be ensured to the co-commissioning potential in the region, notably in relation to health outcomes and the OLASS contracts.
