Cornwall Council awarded a contract to Calmness Ltd for Independent Medical Practitioners to provide Mental Health, Mental Capacity and Eligibility Assessments under the Mental Capacity Act (2005) Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards.

The assessments are mandated by the Mental Capacity Act (Deprivation of Liberty: Standard Authorisations, Assessments and Ordinary Residence) Regulations 2008.

Following the Supreme Court cases of P v Cheshire West and Chester Council and P&Q v Surrey County Council, local authorities experienced a tenfold increase in DoLS applications, leading Cornwall Council to implement assessment priority criteria and plan for approximately 600 full assessments per year, representing the most complex and high-risk cases.

The contract value is £400,000.
