Planning Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Westminster City Council is in the planning stage of a public procurement process aiming to establish a four-year framework for the provision of specialist Occupational Therapy (OT) assessments and related services. This initiative falls under the health and social work services category and is situated in London (region UKI3). The procurement process is described as an early engagement process with a planned communication notice date set for 20 July 2026. Interested parties are invited to participate in a preliminary online information session scheduled for 17 June 2026. The current status is not a call for competition but an engagement and information session to outline the framework's operation and attract individual, experienced Occupational Therapists willing to engage with the Westminster City Council's complex OT associate model.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for business growth, particularly for self-employed senior Occupational Therapists and experienced practitioners keen on community-based high-impact cases. The flexible nature of the framework, involving case-based remuneration and professional autonomy, is particularly appealing for locum OTs, established self-employed therapists, or those wishing to supplement existing roles. By participating in this framework, businesses can form part of an integrated public service system, offering flexibility and resilience in service provision, thus enhancing their service portfolio and expanding their clientele base within the public sector. Suitable businesses are those with expertise in health and social work services, particularly those with a focus on complex and specialist occupational therapy needs.
