## Description
This contract will be for the use of the Department for
Work and Pensions (DWP) (Lots 1 to
4) and the Department for Communities in Northern
Ireland (Lot 5). The service provision
will be primarily contracted through this procurement
to the Authority but may allow other
Government Departments and their Agencies, Non
Departmental Public Bodies, and
devolved administrations (including but not limited to
HM Revenue and Customs, Ministry of
Defence, HM Courts and Tribunals Service, National
Health and Social Care) to access the
services.
To support the determination of an individual’s
entitlement to benefit, the Authority requires
the delivery of a range of compatible and sympathetic
Functional Health Assessments
(FAS). The results of these assessments form one
part of the evidence utilised by the
Authority Decision Maker in making the ultimate
decision on benefit entitlement on behalf of
the Secretary of State.
FAS Suppliers will be expected to deliver functional
health assessments in relation to the
following benefits:
• Personal Independence Payment (PIP)
https://www.gov.uk/pip
• Employment Support Allowance (ESA)

• Universal Credit (UC)
