Bids invited for Sentencing Council review

The Sentencing Council is inviting bids to conduct a literature review on evidence on the effectiveness of sentencing

The reason for the review is that, under the Security Council’s statutory duties, it ‘is required to have regard to the cost of different sentences and their relative effectiveness in preventing reoffending when developing guidelines’. It hopes to begin work as soon as possible and has set a deadline of 28 January 2022 for pre-tender questions.

The contract will be worth up to £9,950 (excluding VAT) and should be completed by the end of June. Submit bids to Emma Marshall, head of analysis and research, at
emma.marshall@sentencingcouncil.gov.uk by noon, 7 February. Find out more here.
