## Description
The areas that PVP would like external support with are as follows:
1) Supervisor reviews - these must be undertaken with a suitably experienced and
qualified person; previous PIP2 supervisory experience is essential.
2) Making contact with Victims and completing a Victim needs Assessment (VNA)
3) The candidates for this must be able to read and digest an officer's enquiry log and

7 Co-ordination
7.1 The Contracting Authority would be receptive to the appointment of a senior resource
within the team. The appointed individual shall act as the single point of contact (SPOC)
for the team and be responsible for coordinating work activities in accordance with
requests received from the local Detective Inspector (DI). The individual shall demonstrate
the capability to supervise a small team, manage work activities in a structured and
methodical manner, and prioritise workload based on risk and operational demand. The
Service Provider shall ensure that appropriate quality assurance (QA) processes are
embedded within the service delivery model to minimise rework and avoid creating
additional workload for DIs.
7.2 The Service Provider shall provide a dedicated team capable of operating in a largely
self-sufficient manner and accepting tasking directly, subject to the formal adoption of
agreed processes. The allocation of individual resources on an ad hoc basis shall not be
the Contracting Authority's preferred delivery model.
7.3 The Contracting Authority considers that an effective team structure may comprise
one (1) Supervisor and five (5) Practitioners, subject to the experience, capability, and
competency of the resources provided
