Notice Title

Provision of Autism Support Advice and Inclusion Service across North West London

Notice Description

NHS North West London Integrated Care Board (the "Authority") is issuing this Invitation to Tender ("ITT") in connection with the competitive procurement for the Provision of Autism Support Advice and Inclusion Service across North West London. The contract term is for a three (3) year period, with an optional extension period of two (2) years, starting 1st July 2023 with an estimated contract value of PS450,000 (total contract value of PS2,250,000), inclusive of VAT. A mobilisation period of 1 month will be applied prior to the commencement of the start date. This procurement process is subject to the so-called light touch regime as set out in regulations 74-76 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 ("PCR") as the procurement concerns health services which are social & other specific services according to the PCR. This opportunity is likely to be of interest to an organisation from the voluntary, community & social enterprise (VCSE) sector. NHS North West London currently delivers a peer-led support, advice and signposting service for autistic people aged 14 and over without a learning disability living in NW London. One of the key features of this service is that it is delivered by people with lived experience of autism and has been shaped, delivered, tested, and evaluated by the autistic people, and families who use it. The service will provide direct face-to-face and virtual support to autistic adults delivered as 1:1 and group sessions and deliver group sessions to young people aged 14 to 17 years. It will also offer specialist training and advice to families, employers and health, social care, and education providers to improve autism awareness and acceptance within communities and the wider system. Achieving a strong and effective model of co-production is integral to the success and impact of the service; in addition to ensuring that people with lived experience are employed at all levels of the organisation, key features of the service will be the co-development and delivery of training and peer-led support and advice in addition to facilitating sessions to support autistic people to share their views and experience to co-design other specialist and mainstream services and pathways. Rather than prescribing the service, the intention is to commission a model which offers a menu of services and methods of delivery, including face-to-face and digital services, which can be flexed at pace to respond to changing demand and the needs and aspirations of the autistic people and the families who use the service. During 2023/24, the successful Provider will support the NW London Integrated Care System (ICS) to map similar provision for children and young people (CYP) to identify gaps and determine the demand for a NW London voluntary sector offer for our younger population and their families.
