Functional Assessment Clinical Assurance and Training Services (FACATS)

The Authority intends to award a public contract under section 19 of the Procurement Act 2023 (“PA 2023”). This procurement for the award of that public contract is being conducted as an open procedure in accordance with sections 20(1) and 20(2)(a) of PA 2023 for the award of a light touch contract in accordance with section 9 of PA 2023. Overview DWP commissions the provision of circa 2 million Assessments per year, which are conducted on behalf of DWP by Healthcare Professionals (HPs) employed by suppliers that were awarded Functional Assessment Service (FAS) Contracts (FAS Providers). These Assessments are used to help determine eligibility to certain disability related benefits including Personal Independence Payment (PIP), Universal Credit (UC), Employment Support Allowance (ESA) and other Specialist Benefits. The FAS Providers employ approximately 5,000 HPs to conduct Assessments on behalf of the DWP. To conduct Assessments, HPs are required to have appropriate knowledge of the clinical aspects and the functional effects of a wide range of health conditions and disabilities as well as specific knowledge of how to conduct the Assessments and the related policy. DWP owns a suite of benefit-related clinical Core Training and Guidance Materials (CTGM). The CTGM currently comprises a total of approximately 700 documents with a total of circa 30,000 pages. The CTGM is broken down into two categories, namely: a) CTGM relating to carrying out Assessments which accounts for the vast majority of documents. In addition to providing the guidance to HPs and Authority Clinicians when conducting Assessments, FAS Providers are also required to use the CTGM to inform and develop training programmes and associated materials for their circa 5,000 HPs. b) There are several CTGM documents for use by Authority Decision Makers. This category of CTGM includes guidance for Authority Decision Makers who determine eligibility for Attendance Allowance and Disability Living Allowance for Children. In addition, DWP engages approximately 200 Authority Clinicians who will also use the CTGM for reference. DWP is committed to ensuring clinical CTGM is annually reviewed and of the highest quality, evidence based, in-line with best practice and free from bias. The Authority currently anticipates awarding a contract for the services (as further described below) for an initial period of 36 months with an option (at the Authority’s discretion and subject to governance approval, available funding and satisfactory performance) for the Authority to extend the contract for a further period of up to 12 months by giving the Supplier written notice of no less than 20 Working Days before the initial term of the Contract expires. Contract subject-matter The following Services form the overall scope of Services required by the Authority under this procurement: a) Clinical QA Service - carrying out a review of the CTGM; b) Annual Clinical Training Course Service - delivering an annual clinical training course; c) Educational CPD Materials Service - developing educational CPD materials. The above Services are required to be delivered in accordance with: a) the relevant sections of the Specification, which is set out in Appendix B of the ITS; b) the relevant Service Levels, as set out in Appendix C of the ITS; and c) the terms and conditions of the Contract, for which a draft is set out in Appendix D of the ITS. The Authority has considered whether the FACATS Services could reasonably be supplied under more than one contract by dividing the procurement into lots. The Authority has concluded that splitting the procurement into lots could make the requirement disproportionately expensive to manage and increase the technical risk to deliver the requirement. The Services will be supplied under one contract. Weightings for the Technical Qualitative Questions: The weightings for Technical Qualitative Questions apply to the overall question and the Supplier should ensure any areas highlighted by the bullet points are covered within the overall response. No individual bullet point has a separate weighting and, subsequently, does not have a greater or lesser impact on the overall question, which will be assessed as a whole. Information will be evaluated against the pre-determined criteria as stated in the ITS. Suppliers' Tender Responses will be scored in accordance with the scoring criteria set out below. The score awarded for each question (in accordance with the scoring methodology detailed in paragraph 168 of the ITS) will be converted to a percentage score (in accordance with the question’s respective weighting shown in the table in paragraph 173 of the ITS) to give a total score using the following formula: Percentage score % = (Score awarded / Maximum score) x Percentage weighting Example: If a Supplier is awarded a score of 7 (Good) for Question 1, the percentage score awarded for that question will be: Percentage score % = (7/10) x 22.5% = 15.75% The maximum score available in respect of the Technical Qualitative Questions is 70%. The different weightings reflect the relative importance of each question to the Authority. Example CTGM documents: The Authority will provide copies of example CTGM documents (as listed in Appendix N to the ITS), to aid Suppliers in understanding the variation in content and size of individual CTGM documents. Due to CTGM documents being classified as Official and containing some information that is confidential, it is a requirement of the Authority that a Supplier completes and signs the Non-Disclosure Agreement (set out in Appendix O to the ITS) as a prerequisite of receiving the example CTGM documents listed in Appendix N.

“What Good Looks Like” guidance development and implementation – Mental Health Act (MHA) s117

To develop “What Good Looks Like” guidance incorporating training resources on MHA s117 after-care assessment, planning and review and the interface with other legislation and frameworks, including statutory guidance on discharge from mental health inpatient settings, the Care Act, the Mental Capacity Act and the NHS Continuing Healthcare framework. This should include clear guidance on roles and responsibilities of the council, ICB and NHS Trusts. The guidance will be focused on Section 117 of the Mental Health Act, highlighting how Adult Social Care (ASC) services can work collaboratively with Integrated Care Boards (ICBs) to deliver high-quality, holistic aftercare. It will provide a clear framework for ASC services to strengthen joint planning, commissioning, and delivery arrangements with ICBs, ensuring individuals discharged from hospital under the Mental Health Act receive person-centred, coordinated support that promotes recovery, independence, and long-term wellbeing’. A launch event (in the form of a webinar) will be arranged once the guidance is complete. Other learning events may be held to support the use of the training resources (subject to time availability).

Understanding and managing waits for assessment and support – defining and measuring timescales

This work builds on previous work undertaken for PCH in 2024/25 examining the experience of a range of councils around measuring timescales. This work will test and develop this in much greater depth. This universal work also runs alongside a parallel piece of targeted work (B6) supporting a small number of sites. Learnings from the targeted work will feed into this examination of timescales. It may also be, depending on timings, that this work is tested back out in some of the targeted sites.
