         About the contract

         A prerequisite to succeed with release is continuity and good coordination between the Norwegian Correctional Services, different government administration partners, counties, and municipalities. When this coordination does not work there are holes that can prevent a successful release. The system challenges are well documented, whilst there has been little testing of possible multidisciplinary solutions. The goal in this project is to fill in the holes in the release process.

         Short summary of the contract

         The Office of the Auditor General"s survey on health, training, and welfare services for prisoners in prison (2022) uncovered weaknesses in several ares in the release process; many who are released from prison do not have housing and have major financial problems. This weakens the possibilities for a successful release back into the community.

         The cooperating directorates in the project have a joint assignment in the award letter 2023 to follow-up the Office of the Auditor General"s survey. The directorate group has decided to design the release process as a separate area that this to be worked on.

         Good release and integration in society after a served sentence prevents outsiderness, promotes participation in working life and education, and counteracts new criminality. Fewer crimes gives fewer victims of crime and large socio-economic gains.

         A prerequisite to succeed with release is continuity and good coordination between the Norwegian Correctional Services, different government administration partners, counties, and municipalities. When this coordination does not work there are holes that can prevent a successful release. There is a lot of insight and updated documentation on the coordination problems in the release process. The system challenges are well documented, whilst there has been little testing of possible multidisciplinary solutions. The goal in this project is to fill in the holes in the release process.

         The project

         The project name is: "A safe and predictable transition from prison to an independent free life".

         Responsible entity (project owner): 

         The Norwegian Directorate of Correctional Services (KDI), c/o Hildegunn Vollset, Department Director in Strategy and Analysis.

         Objective of the procurement.

         We would like to use this procurement to get the right competence to carry out a good Stimulab project. All StimuLab projects must be in accordance with the triple diamond, and the tenderer must offer competence and implementation of all diamonds even though that we, at the start of project, do not know what the delivery comprises. The diagnosis stage will identify what the delivery will include and the stage of the implementation process.

         As the project is part of StimuLab, there must be an open and experimental approach, so it is, therefore, not known in advance what the actual delivery in each project will be. The projects must, however, result in an anchored and obliged system that is either implemented or will be implemented, or a platform for further development. This will depend on the project´s complexity and size and will be clarified further in the dialogue phase.
