    Brief

    The Authority seeks two suppliers to deliver comprehensive legal investigation and advocacy services for Fitness to Practise proceedings. Suppliers will be responsible for: (1) conducting investigations and preparing cases for Fitness to Practise hearings and meetings; (2) managing pre-hearing case procedures according to agreed performance targets in collaboration with hearing parties; and (3) presenting cases before adjudicators at hearings, which are primarily conducted remotely via video conferencing but may occasionally occur in-person at the Sheffield office. Over 3-5 years, suppliers will work in partnership to clear a backlog of approximately 400 pending cases and establish a sustainable steady-state of approximately 150 cases processed annually. The contract has a total maximum value of £40.9 million, with each of the two contracts valued at £20.45 million for indicative purposes.
