Description

Cambridgeshire & Peterborough Combined Authority (“CPCA”) is establishing a dynamic purchasing system (“DPS”) to engage expertise in a range of areas to support the delivery of net zero finance initiatives.  This document provides a description of the types of services required, and what types of services are included within each DPS category.
CPCA’s ambition is to appoint Suppliers who will be considered by Buyers for a number of Call-Off Contracts.  This will enable those Buyers to have access to relevant skills, knowledge and experience in finance, legal services, procurement and other specialist fields.  The Suppliers will support the delivery of ambitious and high-profile net zero programmes while developing a base of knowledge and resources for the benefit of the wider public sector.

Prison Democratic Therapeutic Communities – Integrated Quality Audit Processes

Democratic Therapeutic Communities (DTCs) in His Majesty’s Prison and Probation Service (HMPPS) including Therapeutic Communities Plus (TC+) for offenders with Learning Disabilities (LD) are a recognised offending behaviour programme designed with the aim of reducing reoffending, some having been in existence within the prison system for more than 50 years. They form part of the National Offender Personality Disorder (OPD) Pathway, jointly commissioned between HMPPS and NHS England, offering a pathway of interventions for male and female offenders with complex needs. There are currently 14 DTCs operating in the Prison Service; 11 of these delivering the DTC core model within five establishments; and three delivering the TC+ model. DTCs in prisons aim to reduce re-offending through challenging offence-related risk factors. They address the interpersonal problems, attitudes, thinking and emotions of offenders and aim to engage in treatment those who also have additional emotional and psychological needs. DTCs can provide intervention for offenders with impaired psychological functioning and seek to engage offenders who may not be suitable to undertake other accredited Offending Behaviour Programmes. They are an intensive intervention - prisoners will be expected to remain in therapy for at least 18 months and more likely for two years. Therefore, places in DTCs are normally reserved for offenders serving longer sentences, who have a higher likelihood of re-offending, or who are judged to present a high risk of harm to others. DTCs have a strong evidence base underpinning their theoretical model of change that should be delivered in accordance with a set of manuals which have been accredited by the Correctional Services Accreditation Panel (CSAAP). The prison DTCs participate in a mandatory integrated standards-based process of quality assurance processes. These processes require continued development to ensure an effective and appropriate means of measuring the therapeutic environment and the quality of the therapy delivered. The MoJ requires a Supplier to design, develop, deliver and review an integrated standards-based audit and quality improvement process for all DTCs in HMPPS including TC+. The service is to be delivered incorporating a full clinical audit, using specialist auditors, within each cycle that measures each DTC’s compliance with the detailed and accredited operating models for reducing reoffending. This review process will provide a measure of the quality of the intervention as a DTC and its clinical integrity; additionally, it will provide an assessment of clinical performance and report to the Correctional Services Accreditation and Advice Panel (CSAAP) in line with accreditation requirements. The Supplier must also be able to provide avenues for shared learning for all HMPPS DTCs, support their overall development, provide workforce development opportunities for training and improvements in the clinical skills and knowledge of DTC staff and facilitate access to relevant knowledge and learning opportunities. Critically, the clinical evaluation and quality improvement processes will need to be delivered through a methodology that is in keeping with the philosophy and values of the DTC model and will support the specific therapeutic and clinical requirements of its operation.

Evaluation of the Skills Bootcamps Programme

nterprise Cheshire and Warrington (ECW), a council-owned organisation, works alongside elected leaders to make the region the healthiest, most sustainable, inclusive, and growing place in the country. We collaborate with the three local councils, industry leaders, and community partners to shape economic and transport strategies, deliver skills and employment training and business support, and ensure that the voice of business is heard in local decision-making. Through its Marketing Cheshire division, ECW also champions the region as an outstanding place to live, work, invest, study, and visit. ECW seeks to appoint an experienced and independent evaluation provider to deliver a focused and practical assessment of the Skills Bootcamps Programme. The purpose of this evaluation is to provide a clear understanding of the quality, effectiveness, and overall impact of the programme across the region, capturing the perspectives of learners, employers, training providers, and other key stakeholders. The findings will support ECW in strengthening future delivery models and ensuring that the Skills Bootcamps continue to meet the needs of both learners and employers. The evaluation will assess the effectiveness of programme delivery and the extent to which it has achieved its intended outcomes. It will examine the experiences of training providers, learners and employers as well as local partners. The evaluation will review initial engagement and onboarding through to the completion of delivery, assessing how effectively ECW's support mechanisms have functioned. The evaluator will consider the level of alignment between the design of bootcamps and employer needs, the quality and consistency of delivery, and the barriers that providers may have faced in achieving successful outcomes. The review should also capture evidence of good practice and lessons learned that can inform future programme design.
