Prison services

Tender description

HMPPS Psychology Services deliver a range of psychological activities within HM Prisons and NPS Community. These include clinical assessment and intervention, research, consultancy and training. They require HCPC Registered Forensic Psychologists to complete risk assessments on men and women in custody. This will include compilation of professional reports for submission to the Parole Board. These assessments may be required from prison establishments across England and Wales. Services will be required on both a regular and ad-hoc basis to support work usually undertaken by HMPPS Psychology Services. The demand for risk assessments is variable and can sometimes outstrip the HMPPS Psychology Service ability to deliver within timescales required. MoJ intends to publish an invitation to tender for the above services to be delivered through a national framework agreement. In preparation for the anticipated publication of the invitation to tender on 22.10.2018, you are invited to register to attend a briefing event to be held on 29.10.2018 at 5 Wellington Place, Leeds. The purpose of this event is to provide an overview of the requirement, outline the tendering process and provide an opportunity for potential Providers to pose any questions. Each organisation may request a maximum of 2 places. If you would like to register to attend this event, please email the address contained in this notice with the following information by 12:00 pm on 12.10.2018: Organisation name Names of attendees (max 2) Email address Contact telephone number If you are unable to attend the event, all material will be made available afterwards on the MoJ eSourcing portal.
