Summary of the contracting process

NHS England has initiated a public procurement process for the "Autism Peer Education Training" project, classified under Education and Training Services (CPV Code: 80000000). The procurement, under the open procedure, is aimed at delivering a National Autism Peer Education Programme across the UK. This initiative spans from November 2022 to 30 September 2025, facilitated by an active contract with the National Autistic Society. The contract, valued at £5,545,925 GBP, details provision for education about autism for families and carers, aligning with the Department of Health and Social Care's National Strategy for Autistic Children, Young People and Adults, and NHS England's Long Term Plan.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in educational and training services, particularly those with experience in health and social care sectors. Companies adept at developing curricula, training programmes, and collaborating with subject matter experts, including those capable of working within the NHS regions across England, are well-positioned to apply. Entities can leverage this contract to expand their service offerings, enhance their market presence, and contribute to reducing health inequalities and improving community support for autistic individuals. Consortia or collaborative partnerships are especially encouraged to participate, given the comprehensive and national scope of the programme.
