About

Bedford Borough Council is seeking Best Interest Assessors (BIAs) and Section 12 Assessors to provide specialist assessments for adults in accordance with the Mental Capacity Act Deprivation of Liberty in Bedford Borough on an ad hoc basis. The Authority will appoint multiple successful bidders through the Ps DPS and will offer contracts for an initial three-year period with an option to extend for a further 12 months.

Insight

This could be ideal for qualified Best Interest Assessors and Section 12 Assessors with experience conducting Mental Capacity Act Deprivation of Liberty assessments for adults. Potential considerations include the ad hoc nature of work, strict adherence to Mental Capacity Act requirements and Deprivation of Liberty procedures, and that appointments will be made to multiple providers via the Ps DPS for a three-year contract with a possible 12-month extension.
