Notice Information

Notice Title

Habilitation Support Service for Visually Impaired Children and Young People

Notice Description

Westminster City Council and the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea will be embarking on the recommissioning of their statutory habilitation support services for visually impaired children and young people. We are committed to securing high quality services which meet the needs of our visually impaired children and their families while ensuring the service represents value for money. Habilitation Services are delivered to children and young people with vision impairment. Habilitation Specialists work in schools and other settings. The delivery of education to pupils with vision impairment is a statutory requirement. Some pupils require specialist habilitation support to ensure they can be independent at home and in school and access the mainstream national curriculum. In addition to providing support in education settings the service includes assistance with independence and life skills to enable young people to lead fulfilled independent lives. Schools and early years' settings do not have the expertise to meet the needs of pupils and therefore the specialist support service is provided by the bi-borough, namely, The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea and Westminster City Council We would welcome expressions of interest from providers with experience of delivering statutory habilitation support services for visually impaired children and young people. We are inviting feedback from providers in the market to outline their level of interest and capacity in relation to this future opportunity. Please use the market engagement questionnaire in capitalEsourcing to express an interest in this opportunity. This can be found by searching for pqq_WCC_1786_Habilitation Support for visually impaired children - market engagement. It should be noted that this is not a guarantee of further competition. The Authority reserves the right, at its own discretion, to withdraw from the process and pursue alternative routes to market for the provision of this service, should it decide to do so. Expressions of Interest are not to be emailed directly and must go via the E-procurement portal capitalEsourcing.
