The procurement falls under the paediatric services category and is focused on providing support services within the community in Great Yarmouth and Waveney.

This contract offers significant opportunities for businesses involved in community healthcare services, especially those specialising in neurodevelopmental support for families.

Companies considering expanding their service offerings in partnership with schools and healthcare providers during the interpretation phase of assessments can also align with similar contracts in the future. The contract's focus on strengthening community ties and developing young adults’ transition services could be particularly appealing for businesses in the education and healthcare sectors looking to leverage partnerships and innovative programme solutions.
