Further funding has been made available for this tender through Her Majesty’s Prison and Probation Service Yorkshire and the Humber to enhance services specifically for those on a Probation caseload, those on a Rehabilitation Activity Requirement (RAR) either Drug and/or Alcohol, or those on licence or post sentence supervision. These additional services shall be identified as “Dependency and Recovery Services” for the purpose of the service specification. The Service shall provide the Dependency and Recovery Services to respond to each Service user's complexity of need as identified by the Responsible Officer (Probation Offender Manager) in the referral and in a way which reflects any risk of serious harm issues included within the referral. The information contained within the referral should be reviewed by both the Service and the Responsible Officer throughout the duration of each Service user's Intervention.
•	Service User achieves abstinence or controlled/ non-dependent or non-problematic substance misuse.
•	Service User increases their understanding of addictive behaviours and triggers and option to reduce dependency.
•	Service User improves their physical health and mental resilience.
•	Service User enhances their skills to manage risky situations which may pose a trigger or relapse.
•	Service User enhances their belief in ability to manage/ desist from addiction(s).
•	Service User increases understanding of addictive behaviours and triggers and options to reduce dependency.

•	Service User has continuity of care from prison into the community where there is no other available resource or commissioned service.
•	Service User has a minimised risk of overdose following release from prison.
The individualised combination of outcomes specific to each Service User shall become the agreed outcomes for each service user which shall be set out in the “Personal Wellbeing Plan”. Where applicable, the Service must support a Service user's transition from Young Offenders Institute ("YOI") or an adult male prison back into the community and focus on the place where they will reside (not  the prison they are released from).
Services shall be delivered in a way which reflects the differing complexity levels of service users which occur within the probation caseload:-
•	Low complexity - Service user who is highly motivated and have had sustained period of abstinence. Service user has successfully engaged in a period of treatment but requires support to sustain recovery.
•	Medium complexity - Services user who has had lapses/crises that may lead to relapse and/or is at a transition point, e.g. from prison into community. Service user has a moderate level of motivation but requires a high level of support.
•	High complexity – Service user who is sentenced to Community Sentence where there is a dual diagnosis and substance misuse treatment. Service user does not meet the threshold for secondary provision and/or are deemed unsuitable following assessment for treatment as part of a Community Sentence Treatment Requirement.  However, Service user has identifiable substance misuse, alcohol misuse, prescription, gambling or other dependencies linked to re-offending. Service user has a history of poor engagement with treatment services and requires a high level of motivation and support to engage with treatment.
Funding is time limited to 18 months initially with a potential to be extended, dependent on external funding sources.
The amounts should be added onto the maximum budget:
01 October 2022 – 31 March 2023 - £52,178.50

reviewDetails: In accordance with Regulation 86 (Notices of decisions to award a contract or conclude a framework),Regulation 87 (Standstill periods) and Chapter 6 (Applications to Court) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (SI 2015/102), the contracting authority will incorporate a minimum ten (10) calendar day standstill period at the point that information on the award of the Contract is communicated to economic operators. This period allows any unsuccessful economic operator(s) to seek further debriefing from the contracting authority before the award of the Contract to the successful economic operators. Such additional information should be requested from the address at Sections I.1 and I.3 of this Notice above. If an appeal regarding the award of the Contract has not been successfully resolved, then the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (SI 2015/102) provide for aggrieved parties who have been harmed or are at risk of harm by a breach of the rules to take action in the High Court (England, Wales and Northern Ireland). Any such action must be started within thirty (30) days beginning with the date when the aggrieved party first knew or sought to have grounds for starting the proceedings had arisen. The Court may extend the time limited for starting proceedings where the Court considers that there is a good reason for doing so, but not so as to permit proceedings to be started more than three (3) months after that date. Where the Contract has not been awarded, the Court may order the setting aside of the award decision or order the contracting authority to amend any document and may award damages. If however the Contract has been awarded, the Court may only award damages or, where the contract award procedures have not been followed correctly, declare the Contract to be ineffective.

description:
This contract will be for the use of the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) (Lots 1 to 4) and the Department for Communities in Northern Ireland (Lot 5). The service provision will be primarily contracted through this procurement to the Authority but may allow other Government Departments and their Agencies, Non-Departmental Public Bodies, and devolved administrations (including but not limited to HM Revenue and Customs, Ministry of Defence, HM Courts and Tribunals Service, National Health and Social Care) to access the services.
To support the determination of an individual’s entitlement to benefit, the Authority requires the delivery of a range of compatible and sympathetic Functional Health Assessments (FAS). The results of these assessments form one part of the evidence utilised by the Authority Decision Maker in making the ultimate decision on benefit entitlement on behalf of the Secretary of State.
FAS Suppliers will be expected to deliver functional health assessments in relation to the following benefits:
• Personal Independence Payment (PIP)- https://www.gov.uk/pip
• Employment Support Allowance (ESA)- https://www.gov.uk/employment-support-allowance
• Universal Credit (UC)- https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/universal-credit-if-you-have-a-disability-or-health-condition-quick-guide/universal-credit-if-you-have-a-disability-or-health-condition

awardCriteriaDetails: The Authority reserves the right to issue multiple Lot awards in accordance with any Market Share Limiter (MSL) in Lots 1 through 4.

reviewDetails:
This authority incorporated the required standstill period at the point information on the award of contract was communicated to tenderers. The Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (SI 2015 No 87) provide for aggrieved parties who have been harmed or are at risk of harm by a breach of the rules to take action in the High Court (England, Wales and Northern Ireland). Any such action must be brought within 30 days of the date of knowledge (the date on which the economic operator first knew or ought to have known that grounds for starting the proceedings had arisen) unless the court considers that there is good reason for extending that period (up to a maximum of 3 months from the date of knowledge). If the contract has been entered into the court may award damages and in the case of specified breaches of the rules may also order the termination or shortening of the contract and the levying of fines. The purpose of the standstill period referred to above was to allow parties to apply to the Courts to set aside the award decision before the contract was entered into.

description:
The Authority may require groups of economic operators to assume a specific legal form should they be awarded a contract, to the extent that such a change is necessary for the satisfactory performance of the contract.
An economic operator may be required to provide a performance guarantee e.g. a parent company guarantee should they be awarded a contract.
Full selection criteria are stated in the associated procurement documents.

description: Welfare Reform Legislation states that assessments in connection with claims to benefit or allowance are conducted by a person approved by the Secretary of State.

rationale:
Need for additional works, services or supplies by the original contractor/concessionaire: 1.	Given that the FAS contract was entered into in September 2023 and the FAS suppliers have just completed a lengthy hand over period prior to commencing operational services commencement in September 2024, it would not have been possible to appoint a new supplier to deal with the additional services outlined in this modification notice, as the new supplier would not have had the benefit of the handover period.
2.	Appointing a new supplier to address the additional services would have also led to a significant duplication of costs, particularly as during the handover period, the Department was paying incumbent suppliers to deliver the assessment services.
3.	There would be interchangeability issues with a new supplier which would negatively impact the delivery of key services. A change in supplier without the lengthy handover period and a transition to the new managed IT System would risk the delivery of the services which provide critical statutory benefits to vulnerable claimants

description:
This notice is in relation to modification of an existing Contract, pursuant to regulation 72(1)(b) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (“PCR 2015”), and is published for transparency purposes.
The Functional Health Assessments (“FAS”) contracts were signed in September 2023 and included an assessment of supplier capacity as of November 2021 (the launch of the procurement). In the intervening period demand for Personal Independence Payment (“PIP”) assessments has continued to rise whilst the Authority has worked with incumbent suppliers to successfully recruit and retain a higher number of Health Professionals (“HPs”) which has enabled the highest ever volume delivery of PIP assessments. The increased number of HPs helps the Authority better meet the demand for assessments across PIP and Work Capability Assessment (“WCA”) (as well as other benefits), and better protects the delivery of the service. Retention of the HPs into FAS ensured that capacity for assessments will meet the current levels of PIP, WCA and other benefits. Collectively, this helps by reducing the length of a customer's journey and minimises the backlog of claims.
In addition to the increased clinical staffing, there were some changes to supplier costs to reflect IT solution changes to address technical constraints and levels of integration.
Pursuant to regulation 72(1)(b) of the PCR 2015, the Authority has agreed a deed of variation with the FAS supplier to vary the FAS to cover the increased clinical staffing which leads to the provisions of additional services, in addition to the additional costs to reflect the changes to the IT solution to address various technical constraints. The additional services are required to address an increase in the number of FAS assessments over the number initially envisaged during the procurement.

rationale: Need for additional works, services or supplies by the original contractor/concessionaire: Appointing a new supplier to address the additional services would have also led to a significant duplication of costs, due to overlap in supplier personnel and duplication of processes and systems and particularly as during the handover period, the Department was paying incumbent suppliers to deliver the assessment services. There would be interchangeability issues with existing processes and systems with a new supplier which would negatively impact the delivery of key services. A change in supplier without the lengthy handover period and a transition to the new managed IT System would risk the delivery of the services which provide critical statutory benefits to vulnerable claimants. The increase in price does not exceed 50% of the value of the original contract.
