The Secretary of State for the Home Department ('the Home Office') has overall responsibility for policing in England and Wales and for the fire service in England only.

Policing in Scotland and the fire service in both Wales and Scotland are devolved powers.

However, the requirements under the framework being tendered relate to both policing and fire in England, Scotland and Wales.

As part of this responsibility, the Home Office is empowered to consider any appeal by a pension scheme member against a decision made by a police force or fire authority in relation to an ill-health pension or injury benefit award.

In order to administer such appeals, the Home Office appoints a contractor with the capability to appoint and manage independent appeal boards staffed by qualified medical practitioners.
