Pre-Charge Bail Changes to Hasten Provider Billing

Providers are now able to submit bills for pre-charge bail matters within one month of the initial attendance instead of waiting until the case ends.

Contract and guidance changes

Amendments have been made to the 2022 Standard Crime Contract to make these changes possible from 1 July 2023

The relevant section can be found under paragraph 9.104 of the crime contract specification.

We have also updated the guidance for Contracted Work and Administration (CWA).

Making a claim

Providers should bill these attendances via CWA. Details of the codes to use are detailed on the CWA guidance page.

Additional costs

Some providers may also need to bill additional costs for work after submission of the police station attendance claim. These additional costs should be billed using the existing claim amendment process.
