## Summary

The procurement process for the provision of supervision services to forensic psychologists in training has been managed by the Ministry of Justice, a central government public authority located at 102 Petty France, London, SW1H 9AJ. The tender, entitled "Supervision of Forensic Psychologists in Training," falls under the industry category of specialist training services. The process followed an open procurement method and involved establishing a framework agreement to secure the necessary services starting from 1st August 2025 through 31st July 2028, with a potential extension to 2030. This framework allows video and occasional in-person supervision to support the capacity within HM Prisons and Probation Service, operating under a light-touch special regime.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in forensic psychology and training services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) will find this framework particularly advantageous as it supports remote supervision, thereby broadening participation beyond geographical constraints. Businesses with experienced forensic psychologists equipped to provide training and supervision will be especially well-suited to engage under this framework, fostering business growth through long-term collaboration with a prominent governmental institution. The consistent need for psychological risk assessments and training ensures a steady demand for these services, making the framework a stable opportunity for the right providers.

## Notice

HM Prisons and Probation Service, as part of the justice system, plays a crucial role in society. HMPPS protects the public, maintains safe and secure prisons and reduces the risk that people will reoffend. We work together to help people to live law abiding and positive lives. HMPPS delivers the government's vision and investment to make prisons places of safety and reform and to ensure probation services support the rehabilitation of offenders while protecting the public.We provide safe and supportive environments, where people work through the reasons that caused them to offend and prepare for a more positive future. The Psychology Services Group (PSG) provides evidence-based, psychological, and therapeutic services to support people in custody and on probation aimed at reducing their risk of harm and reoffending. It is one of the largest training organisations for Forensic Psychologists. Staff provide a HMPPS-wide specialist service and defensible evidence to support decision-making and influence operational policy at a National, Regional, and local level. Psychological services are largely broken down into assessment, intervention, training, research/projects, and consultancy advice and support. This specific requirement is for the services of suitably qualified and experienced Registered Forensic Psychologists (with at least 2 years post qualification experience) to provide Supervision to Forensic Psychologists in Training. Services will be required on both a regular and ad-hoc basis to support work usually undertaken by HMPPS staff. There are two aspects to supervision in the context of Forensic Psychologists in Training; * Co-ordinating Supervisor / Clinical Supervisor (CS) - Guidance and Development of individual trainees throughout their qualification. * Additional Supervisor/ Designated Supervisor - Supervision of Individual pieces of work or projects as required. HMPPS require the ability to procure services to support the internal capacity to deliver. These will vary over time in volume and frequency and the Authority has established a Framework for delivery of this service. There are no guaranteed volumes for the services required. Supervision of Forensic Psychologists in Training can be conducted remotely for the majority of the cases. There may be occasions where in-person supervision may be required. All Supervision Services commissioned by HMPPS PSG must meet the required Quality Standards and registration requirements set by the process relevant to the type of Supervision or Qualification route (e.g. Qualification guidance, internal guidance documents). A key part of the service involves supervising psychological risk assessments to assist Parole Board decision making, so competency in this area will be required.
