## Summary

The Ministry of Justice is conducting a procurement process titled "Neutral Assessment for HMP Woodhill," aimed at providing independent expert assessment services within the research services category, specifically focusing on social research. This tender process is currently at the Award stage, with CMP Solutions having been awarded the contract valued at £26,320. The contract commenced on 5th July 2021 and concluded on 9th September 2021. The delivery of services is to take place in London, with the tender period previously ending on 21st June 2021.

This contract presents an opportunity for service providers, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), to engage in consultancy within the public sector, specifically in the area of organisational culture and conflict resolution. Businesses with expertise in research services and social research are well-positioned to compete, as the procurement method applied was selective, allowing the Ministry of Justice to call off from an existing framework agreement. This aligns with strategies for fostering innovation and improving organisational dynamics within governmental settings.

## Notice

The main purpose of a neutral assessment is to identify and 'future test' how to resolve matters. It is an informal process and so not part of a grievance or disciplinary - it sits outside formal procedures. Provide an independent expert, skilled in understanding groups, management, conflict, and organisational culture, assesses how the situation has arisen, evaluates the issues, and identifies options and recommendations. The Neutral Assessment process offers immediate value to staff, who have the chance to let off steam, talk through their concerns, and be listened to with empathy.
