UK SBS BLOJEU-CR17100OME Barriers to application for judicial appointment - The final date and time for the submission of bids is 31 /08/2017 at 14:00 - DO NOT apply directly to the buyer. The Senior Salaries Review Body (SSRB) is undertaking a Major Review of the judicial salary structure (the Major Review) with the aim of submitting its advice to the Lord Chancellor by June 2018. Such reviews occur approximately every five years (the last was in 2010-11) to examine the suitability and soundness of the judicial pay system. The endorsed terms of reference for the Major Review and the SSRB's terms of reference are at Annex A. The SSRB will consult with an Advisory and Evidence Group (AEG) comprising representatives of different levels and jurisdictions within the UK judiciary and other major stakeholders. The purpose of this project is to provide the SSRB with qualitative information which, along with other data gathered by the SSRB outside of this project, will help the SSRB to understand the factors which influence recruitment to the judiciary. Specifically, this work will examine the reasons why some eligible people do not apply and enable a qualitative assessment as to how these factors might vary according to individual characteristics and experience and across the different levels of the judiciary. This work is modelled on the methodology used in research commissioned in 2008 by the Judicial Executive Board, The attractiveness of senior judicial appointment to highly qualified practitioners . The research would need to focus on potential candidates for the categories of the judiciary where individuals are generally appointed to the judiciary for the first time (High Court, Circuit Court, District Court and Lower Tribunal judges ) capturing reasons as to why they have not applied for salaried or fee-paid roles . Potential candidates would be identified according to criteria provided by the judicial appointments bodies for England and Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland and in discussion with judges on the AEG as a starting point, followed by an element of "snowball" sampling (see below). A key challenge will be to identify potentially strong applicants (e.g. those who might meet quality thresholds set by the Judicial Appointments Commission (JAC) while not implying in any way that participation in the study is an informal signal that the individual should consider applying or that they would be successful if they did. Please disregard any content in this notice that requests your organisation "to apply directly to the buyer" as this unfortunately a system generated error, that is outside of the Contracting Authorities control.

UK SBS BLOJEU-CR17061OME SSRB Major Review of the Judicial Salary Structure - The Office of Manpower Economics (OME) provides support for all the independent Pay Review Bodies. In doing so, one of the OME's key functions is to provide high quality research-based technical advice drawing on economic, pay, labour market, statistical and other technical data. The Senior Salaries Review Body (SSRB) is undertaking a Major Review of the judicial salary structure (the Major Review) with the aim of submitting its advice by June 2018. Such reviews occur approximately every five years (the last was in 2010-11) to examine the suitability and soundness of the judicial pay system. 3. The terms of reference for this Major Review, and the SSRB's terms of reference, are at Annex A. The SSRB will consult with an Advisory and Evidence Group (AEG) comprising representatives of different levels and jurisdictions within the UK judiciary and other major stakeholder communities. 4. A key function for the Major Review is to ensure that the numerous judicial roles are appropriately mapped together onto the correct points in the judicial salary scale. Therefore, to support the Major Review, the SSRB has requested that work be commissioned to compare and group judicial roles to assist it in making recommendations in this context. The purpose of this research is to provide the SSRB with a grouping and hierarchy of judicial posts, achieved through the allocation of judicial posts into salary groups. The proposed groups will form the basis for a consultation in the autumn. 6. This project is concerned with defining the appropriate salary groups and not with levels of salary or the salary differentials between the groups. These latter issues will be addressed by the SSRB using alternative sources of evidence. The outcome of this project will be a body of evidence which the SSRB will use to help it to: a. assign judicial posts into appropriate salary groups; b. understand which salary groups new posts should be placed in and to identify and understand any anomalies in the current groups; c. identify and understand where stakeholders hold different views about the placement of particular posts; d. categorise and assess how leadership roles and functions should affect placement of relevant roles into salary groups; and e. consider whether there is scope to simplify the current structure.

NOMS Prisoner, Family & Significant Other Support Services - The purpose of this contract is to offer services to support, maintain and develop positive relationships between offenders, their family and significant others to reduce re-offending and prevent intergenerational crime. We would like to identify innovative approaches to meet the diverse needs of offenders who may or may not have established relationships with their family and significant others. It is recognised that supporting and maintaining links between offenders their families and significant others can help reduce re-offending and that doing so may also contribute to tackling intergenerational offending by addressing the poor outcomes faced by children of offenders. NOMS Commissioning Intentions sets an expectation on prison providers to work with Local Authorities and third sector partners to promote inclusion of, and maximise opportunities to offender’s families and their significant others. Visitors’ centres can be a focal point for offering support to families if they are used for services other than visits and include homework clubs and the delivery of family learning activities. This contract will also require creative approaches to delivering services to engage families and significant others where relationships are broken down, to develop and re-establish positive relationships. The provider can offer signposting to a range of support services, decrease the stress associated with separation, early days in prison, the duration of a sentence. The use of a visits centre can be to facilitate inter agency working and depending on the location can engage with community services when the centre is not being used such as a playgroup where facilities can be utilised. Prisons do vary greatly in their nature and in the facilities they have available. A variety of family related services are delivered across the estate including Parenting and Relationship Skills courses, Mother and Baby Units at female establishments, Family Engagement Workers and Visitors Centres. Visitors Centre Services at a number of establishments in England and Wales also captures the requirement for Family Engagement Workers within establishments where a requirement is identified. The range of services required at each establishment will be determined locally and will vary depending on a range of factors, including but not limited to; location, accessibility, available facilities and the category of the establishment. As a consequence, there are a number of requirements that may need to be factored into the structure of any procurement process for the named services. Not all establishments within the prison estate have a contracted out service, as some continue to deliver in-house, and there are some where there is a mix of outsourced and in-house elements. The contract value stated in this Future Opportunity Notice are indicative at this stage and will be set when the Opportunity Notice has been published
