"description": "Bolton Foundation Trust, as the incumbent provider, has consistently met the required standards for delivering the Children's Occupational Service over a number of years. The Trust demonstrates strong performance and collaboration with Bolton's Independent Living Service. They are fully engaged, with clear communication and positive working relationships. The Bolton Foundation Trust are also aligned with Bolton's strategic priorities for children supporting the best start to life, as well as achieving long term goals, for children to live as independently as possible with a good education. They reach out into the Bolton communities from health settings, educational setting and home settings, to provide the child and the family/carer the support they need as part of the Childrens and Family Act. The Bolton Foundation Trust are integrated with NHS, meaning they have all access/knowledge to the correct systems and processes, to allow fast mobilisation at short notice. The service has been shown to provide good value for money in the running of the service, which has been recognised from option appraisal processes. Following a desktop review, no alternative local provider has been identified with the capacity, cross-sector reach, and readiness to deliver the service within the required timescales. In accordance with Procurement Services Regulations (PSR) Most Suitable Provider, the authority intends to enter contract negotiations with the existing provider, with changes to the service as appropriate.",
