Common use of Delivery partners Clause in Contracts

Delivery partners. The NPS shall work with all relevant partners to deliver the requirements of this SLA and to further both NOMS objectives and the objectives of partners. These can include but are not limited to: national statutory partners, the voluntary and community sector, social enterprises, faith groups, private organisations, CRCs and agencies [and, in Wales, the Welsh Government], as well as local Liaison and Diversion services (where they exist). The NPS shall work to meet any requirements and obligations agreed and supported by the Commissioning Authority under joint working arrangements with NOMS partners and providers of probation services (other than the Secretary of State). This includes the sharing of information, under the powers set out in section 14 of the OMA 2007 and compliance with the Data Protection Xxx 0000. The principal statutory partnership working arrangements in which mandatory participation is required from the NPS are shown below. Further information can be found at:- xxx.xxxxxxx.xxx.xx/xxxxxxxxx/xxxxxxxxxxxx/xxxxxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/xxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx .:- • Safeguarding Children Boards • Safeguarding Adults Board • Community Safety Partnerships • Youth Offending Partnership Boards • Elected Local Policing Body (PCCs and the Mayor of London) The NPS will be the relevant provider of probation services for the purpose of acting jointly with the police and prisons as the responsible authority in relation to MAPPA in each criminal justice area. There are a number of other relevant non-statutory public protection partnerships that the NPS are expected to participate in line with their public protection duties, these include but are not limited to PREVENT and MARAC where they exist. The NPS will also engage and work collaboratively with reducing re-offending partnerships where they exist, for example IOM initiatives, and local Gang partnerships. The NPS will also be expected to work in partnership with service providers not commissioned by NOMS but which support delivery of services specified in the SLA. In delivering the requirements of the SLA, the NPS should seek to agree arrangements with CRCs in relation to their own participation in, and information sharing with, statutory and non-statutory partnerships. The purpose of establishing such an agreement is to ensure effective offender management and risk management of offenders, and to avoid duplication. The NPS and CRCs have a shared responsibility for advocacy with local agencies about the needs of offenders in specific localities for the purposes of informing the commissioning of mainstream services for offenders. For example, by providing evidence of need as part of Joint Strategic Needs Assessments (JSNA) or contributing to local consultations. The NPS will co-operate with CRCs to ensure that these joint responsibilities are discharged effectively. As part of the consultation concerning developing JSNAs and Health and Wellbeing Strategies by Health and Wellbeing Boards, the NPS will have primary responsibility to promote the substance misuse and mental health needs of offenders. Nevertheless the NPS and CRCs are both required to co-operate and provide information in relation to the health needs of offenders. Availability of, and access to, these treatments forms an essential part of Court Order treatment requirements and statutory licence condition options. The NPS may make arrangements with another organisation or enter into joint commissioning arrangements such as resource pooling to deliver the Services as specified in the NOMS Service Specifications. Restricted probation provision cannot, under legislation, be delegated to non-public sector organisations. The NPS will remain accountable for the delivery of any Services and must notify the Commissioning Authority of any delivery partners, under arrangements such as joint commissioning proposals. The NPS will manage the contracts for all Independent Approved Premises (IAP) in their area. Under these contracts, the NPS are accountable for referral and liaison arrangements (for further details please refer to individual SLAs for each IAP). The NPS may also be required to deliver additional time-limited contracts over and above the core services commissioned by NOMS, including, but not restricted to, contracts with the NOMS Co-Financing Organisation (ESF) and NOMS/NHS Offender Personality Disorder Programme. The NPS is required to utilise existing NOMS 'call-off' contracts for the provision of specific services and commodities (e.g. Drug Testing Kits) in order to ensure value for money, subject to any transitional or contingency arrangements agreed with the Commissioning Authority to support the initial implementation. Any future proposal from the NPS to use alternative provision will need to be approved by the Commissioning Authority in advance, and in accordance with standard NOMS processes. Service requirements
