Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Justice commissioned forensic psychology services through a call-off from its Report Services Framework. The published service item is classified as health services, but the procurement does not describe the specific psychological assessments, reports or other service elements required. The call-off provides for multiple service elements, which may be commissioned as needed. Delivery is in the United Kingdom; no more specific place is identified. The requirement is for professional services rather than goods or works, and is being purchased by a central government department. The selected supplier is Forensic Psychology Consultants Ltd, a small business based in West Bridgford. The framework route indicates this is a purchase under an existing arrangement rather than a standalone competition.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Forensic Psychology Consultants Ltd. The award date and contract signing date were 3 September 2026. The contract period runs from 3 September 2026 to 3 September 2027. Its value is £10,500 excluding VAT and £12,600 including VAT. This was a competitive call-off under a framework, using a selective procedure below the procurement threshold. There is one lot, and the contract includes an option for further service commissioning; the call-off remains in place until the required services are delivered and completed. The stated duration is based on an average call-off period of approximately 12 months. The available procurement details do not state evaluation criteria or specific supplier eligibility requirements.

Forensic psychology consultancies with the professional capacity to provide health-related services under a report-services framework are the closest fit for this requirement. The award shows that the Ministry of Justice uses a competitive framework call-off for this type of work, and that a small specialist supplier was selected. Suppliers seeking to compete when this requirement returns should be able to deliver the service elements the Ministry commissions and work within the framework’s call-off process. The published scope is broad, so the award alone does not establish which forensic psychology specialisms, professional registrations, report formats or service volumes are needed. The recorded contract is a relatively small-scale call-off compared with major service contracts, with a period of around a year and provision for commissioning services as required. A credible competitor would need to match the future specification’s detailed service needs and demonstrate suitable delivery capacity.
