HM Prisons and Probation Service (HMPPS), 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) provide evidence-based, psychological, and therapeutic services to support people in custody and on probation aimed at reducing their risk of harm and reoffending. 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 suitably qualified and experienced Registered Forensic Psychologists (with at least 2 years post qualification experience) to provide Psychology Report Services for Offenders. Services will be required on both a regular and ad-hoc basis to support work usually undertaken by HMPPS staff. The Reports Services requirement includes delivery of the following: a. Psychology Risk Assessments (PRAs) b. Responsivity and Suitability Assessments c. Case Reviews HMPPS require the ability to procure these services to support the internal capacity to deliver and the Authority intends to establish a multi-supplier Framework with a duration of 5 years for delivery of these services. The services will be delivered nationally across HMPPS Public Sector settings primarily in Prisons, and there may on occasion be a requirement for delivery in Non-HMPPS Service Delivery Sites (including Northern Ireland and Scotland). The requirement for these services will vary over time in volume and frequency and any volumes provided in relation to this requirement are based upon historical figures and are provided for indicative purposes only. There are no guaranteed volumes for the services required. All Psychology Report Services commissioned by HMPPS Psychology Services must meet the required Quality Standards set by the process relevant to the type of Report (e.g. Parole Board, MAPPA, internal guidance documents), and adherence to the relevant HMPPS Policies and Frameworks.
