Notice Information

Notice Title

GB-SUFFOLK: Psychological Assessments

Notice Description

The requirement is for our PD Pathway, Assessment & Treatment service based at HMP Wayland, a Cat C male prison near Thetford, Norfolk. The Pathway services are provided by NSFT as part of a partnership with HMPS and are commissioned jointly by NHS England and HMPPS. The service requires approximately 10 x initial assessment/and/or end of treatment risk assessment reports to be conducted per annum, on an as required basis. The initial assessments will need to include a core set of structured forensic assessments and, where necessary, clinical assessments of area such as ADHD and trauma symptomology, together with the collection of some primary care-level screening measures. Additional assessment may be required on a case by case basis, depending on client and service need. The appointed contractor may also need to work with PD Pathway clinicians to ensure that the evidence from existing treatment reviews and therapy reports is included in end of treatment reports. Core measures are likely to include, the following, though this may differ from case to case.. 1.HCR-20 (V3) 2.IPDE 3.PCL-R 4.SAPROF 5.WAIS -IV Reports produced will be used to influence treatment decisions in the PD Pathway and to alert front line clinicians to areas of significant clinical risk. Therefore, the provider will need to ensure that assessing clinicians are familiar with the service, its ethos, and the available treatment pathways and mandated therapeutic approaches that it offers, as well as orientated to the prison system in general. Reports may be represented as part of Parole Board hearings and therefore, it is essential that all assessing clinicians are appropriately qualified and registered with the Health and Care Professions Council as practitioner psychologists or equivalent. The provider will also need to demonstrate that it has a relevant, up to date understanding of Information Governance in relation to the client group and setting, and have processes in place in order to satisfy the professional and organisational needs to maintain client and service confidentiality. Additional information: The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement.
