We are responsible for the administration of the criminal injuries compensation schemes and make payments of compensation to people who have been injured because they were the victim of a violent crime in England, Scotland or Wales. We also administer the Victims of Overseas Terrorism Compensation Scheme. As part of the assessment process, CICA may commission expert medical reports to provide a diagnosis and prognosis to help determine whether the applicant has a qualifying injury, and the nature of this injury. Assessment may also be required to confirm exacerbation or acceleration of pre-existing conditions, whether applicants have limited capacity for work or whether the disclosure of any medical information, including the report provided may cause serious harm to the applicant. The reports provided will enable CICA to identify the correct injury award-banding and potential awards for loss of earnings. Through this notice the Authority is looking to engage with the current market regarding this future requirement. The Supplier will undertake medical examinations and provide high quality expert reports where further medical evidence is required to support CICA’s evidence-based compensation decisions. This includes standard cases, priority cases, tribunal-directed cases (including Appeals), and circumstances where applicants are unable to obtain specialist opinions independently. It should be noted that CICA is not referring applicants for treatment but is seeking independent expert opinion to support decision-making under the Criminal Injuries Compensation Scheme.

These assessments often support cases linked to trauma and the application of the Serious Harm Test (SHT) and must provide clear diagnosis, prognosis, and functional impact supported by robust clinical evidence. The Supplier will be required to: a. Provide access to a national network of suitably qualified medical professionals, including provision for overseas applicants where required. The experts required can include but is not limited to Clinical Psychologists, Psychiatrists, Neurologists, Paediatrician, ENT surgeon. b. Arrange and deliver high-quality expert medical reports to support CICA in making timely and defensible case decisions, including use in appeal and tribunal settings. c. Ensure that where psychiatric diagnosis or prognosis is required, reports are completed by: • A Clinical Psychologist registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC), or • A Psychiatrist registered with the Royal College of Psychiatrists For overseas applicants, equivalent suitably qualified professionals must be used. d. Demonstrate access to an appropriate network of Clinical Psychologists, including the ability to manage increasing and fluctuating demand, and experienc... > [Read full procurement scope and specification on Tenderline](https://tenderline.uk/tenders/expert-medical-reports-services-for-the-criminal-injuries-compensation-authority-cica-ocds-h6vhtk-06b5e8) ## Lots (1) ### Lot 1: Untitled lot - **Lot id:** `1` - **Status:** planned - **CPV codes:** 85141000 - **Delivery regions:** UK - **Delivery countries in notice:** GB - **Contract Period:** 02/08/2027 to 02/08/2032 ## Provenance and Official Sources - **Official Notice:** [Find a Tender notice](/out?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.find-tender.service.gov.uk%2FNotice%2F056720-2026) - **Last Source Update:** 2026-06-16T14:00:47.000Z - **This document generated:** 2026-10-22T05:24:51.755Z - **Machine API:** https://tenderline.uk/api/public/tenders/ocds-h6vhtk-06b5e8
