## Summary

The Department of Justice is seeking to appoint a contractor for the Medical Assessment Service under the Troubles Permanent Disablement Payment Scheme. This service is critical for assessing the degree of disablement experienced by applicants related to Troubles events, enabling the Victims' Payments Board to determine appropriate payments. The procurement method utilised is an open procedure, and the contract, valued at £10,000,000, is currently active as of February 2, 2021. The industry category falls under Medical practice and related services, and the location is in Belfast, UK.

This tender presents significant opportunities for companies specialising in medical assessment services, psychological evaluations, and related healthcare services. Businesses that can demonstrate experience, a robust methodology, and competitive pricing will be well-positioned to compete for this contract. The emphasis on quality assessment and contractor capability means that firms with a strong background in healthcare delivery, particularly in mental health and disability assessments, will find this tender especially relevant for growth.

## Notice

The Department of Justice has been designated by The Executive Office to administer the Troubles Permanent Disablement Payment Scheme on behalf of the Victims' Payments Board (VPB) in line with the Victims' Payment Regulations 2020. The purpose of the Scheme is "to provide those living with permanent disablement caused by injury through no fault of their own in a Troubles-related incident with payments primarily in acknowledgement of the acute harm which they have suffered. The scheme will also provide a measure of recognition of the implications of living with disablement caused by a serious Troubles-related injury and the associated impact of such disablement on carers, who are often family members; and recognition that in many cases coping with the disablement caused by the serious injury had an adverse financial impact on individuals and their families." A key requirement of the Scheme is that a medical assessment must be carried out on eligible applications to assess the degree of relevant disablement (physical and psychological) of applicants. This will enable the VPB to decide on the level of payment to eligible applicants. This Contract will appoint a suitable Contractor to design and deliver the required Medical assessment service. This is a Schedule 3 service in accordance with the Public Contracts Regulations 2015
