<p>We are planning to implement the new model for probation services by June 2021.
The competition for Probation Delivery Partner contracts is well underway and we have
received sufficient bids for a viable and healthy competition. The total potential
Probation Delivery Partner contract value, as published in the Official Journal of
the European Union, is £1.26 billion over 8 years. We will launch the competition
for providers for the Dynamic Framework competition in the coming months.</p><p>All
staff that transfer to the National Probation Service will become civil servants upon
transfer. It is our intention to harmonise terms and conditions for this group on
transfer as this is a key enabler of the forthcoming changes. However, this is subject
to ongoing negotiations with Trade Unions.</p>
