Common use of Specification of Requirements Clause in Contracts

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 (to be agreed after contract award). 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.
