The National Offender Management Service (NOMS) is an executive agency of the Ministry of Justice, and brings together HM Prison Service and the Probation Service to enable a more effective delivery of their services.
NOMS is responsible for commissioning and delivering offender management services in custody and in the community helping to deliver punishments and reparation and co-ordinate rehabilitative, health, educational, employment and housing opportunities for offenders to reduce re-offending as well as overseeing the contracts of privately run prisons, managing probation performance and creating probation trusts.
Responsibility for delivering a reduction in reoffending and the management of offenders is devolved to nine regional offices in England and one office in Wales. Each is responsible for:
- commissioning services
- developing a reducing reoffending delivery plan
- coordinating partnerships.
