The provider will be responsible for delivering therapeutic interventions, supporting assessment and treatment activities, contributing to service governance, collecting and reporting service performance data, maintaining appropriate clinical oversight, and working collaboratively with HMPPS, probation services, mental health providers and other relevant stakeholders to support pathway progression and rehabilitation outcomes. The service will be delivered at HMP Lancaster Farms and operate in accordance with the OPD Pathway's strategic objectives to reduce reoffending, improve psychological wellbeing and relational outcomes, support staff capability, and deliver effective and high-quality treatment services. *The contract start date is currently subject to a number of operational and implementation dependencies and is therefore yet to be confirmed.

Suppliers who have the capability and experience to deliver the services outlined are invited to register their interest by contacting the Offender Welfare mailbox at MoJProcurement.OffenderWelfare by 1st October 2pm.
