answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/04/2016 answer text <p>No Community Rehabilitation Company (CRC) has withdrawn from the Transforming Rehabilitation Programme. As part of the Transforming Rehabilitation reforms, CRCs are required to deliver the services set out in their contract. CRCs can decide to contract with other organisations to deliver some of those services. If these sub-contractors decide to no longer provide services, the CRC will decide whether to re-tender or provide the service themselves. This should not affect the number of offenders able to access the services.</p><p> </p><p>We are not restarting the tendering process for probation providers. CRCs are in the process of finalising their supply chains. Contract Management Teams closely monitor arrangements to ensure consistency of service provision and that prime and sub-contractors comply with the terms of an Industry Standard Partnering Agreement set out in the original tender documents.</p> answering member constituency South West Bedfordshire answering member printed Andrew Selous grouped question UIN 33585 question first answered 20/04/2016 14:07:27 answering member 1453 label Biography information for Andrew Selous
