SPECIFICATION OF REQUIREMENTS. The Authority is looking for the successful bidder to undertake the following work: The Authority has logged themes arising from an initial analysis of Rule 43 reports/narrative verdicts. The Contractor will expand on this review by validating and building on the work already conducted to identify reoccurring themes both within the individual custodial sectors and across them. The Secretariat has produced a summary table of approximately 150 Rule 43 reports. Each report and response is about four pages in total. Select a sample, in conjunction with the Authority, of approximately 30 Rule 43 Reports/narrative verdicts covering all sectors and a range of learning in order to identify the action that has been taken by the individual custodial sector in response to the recommendations. This will enable the Contractor to: Identify whether other deaths have occurred in similar circumstances since the Rule 43 report was sent, Determine the impact the Rule 43 reports are having in terms of sharing learning and contributing to the prevention of future deaths (by examining with approximately 20 stakeholders the effect of the report on changing policy and practice). This will involve an examination of the sector responses to the reports. Identify key learning points from the reports and narrative verdicts for dissemination across the custodial sectors. Examine whether bereaved families received copies of Rule 43 Reports and relevant responses (in the selected sample). The Authority can summarise the existing learning mechanism for each custodial sector. The Contractor will be required to: Examine these systems further as to whether learning from Rule 43 Reports/narrative verdicts is cascaded through the individual custodial sector and make recommendations to address any gaps and strengthen these systems if necessary. This will be done through discussion with appropriate stakeholders as above. Examine the systems in place as to whether learning from relevant Rule 43 Reports/narrative verdicts is shared across the custodial sectors and make recommendations to address any gaps and strengthen these systems if necessary. Produce a draft report of approximately 5,000-6,000 words (excluding references and appendices) 8-10 weeks from start date. This report should provide an overview of the findings of this work including key recommendations for the Independent Advisory Panel to consider and take forward as part of their longer-term work programme.

SPECIFICATION OF REQUIREMENTS. Background In 2009-10 it was a requirement from HM Treasury that all central government departments and their agencies produce their accounts for the first time under an International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) basis. The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) was the only government department unable to lay its 2009-10 resource accounts prior to parliamentary summer recess in accordance with HM Treasury’s timetable. This was due to the complexities of implementing IFRS across the Ministry and staff and other changes. The Ministry acknowledges that due to the current external recruitment freeze across Whitehall it faces challenges in attracting the right people with the relevant accounting skills into its various accounts production teams. In order to address this issue and the impact it has on being able to deliver pre-recess accounts in 2011, the Ministry has decided to engage a private sector accountancy firm to assist in delivering the 2010-11 Departmental and Agency accounts to the pre-summer recess deadline, and delivery of the MoJ WGA contribution Tender Requirements The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) requires the services of a professional accountancy firm to manage and deliver the overall 2010-11 accounts production timetable across the department. The services required will include:- to project manage the accounts production process across the department and its main agencies (National Offender Management Service (NOMS), HM Courts Service (HMCS), and the Tribunals Service) to provide support for the consolidated production of the MoJ Departmental Resource accounts. The MoJ will determine at a later date, as to whether this option will be taken up. (Note, the submission should include a fully costed breakdown for this support and we suggest that you factor this into your tender submission) to review the accounts production process across the Ministry in order to:- identify ways of streamlining the process, both at individual Agency and the core MoJ level identify efficiencies in the accounts production process and test the new approach devise and run a centralised and more flexible approach to accounts production across the Ministry to put forward ideas for a new structure of the accounts production team to ensure it meets the future requirements of the Ministry. (The MoJ is looking at a range of proposals for a more efficient/cost effective method and the ideas suggested will be used as a discussion tool by senior management within the MoJ.) These servic...
