Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Hackney commissioned an Autism Early Intervention Family Support Service. It is a 12-month pilot providing intensive, home-based behavioural support to families of autistic children and young people known to Hackney’s Disabled Children’s Service. This is a health and social work service delivered in Hackney, London. The requirement is focused on early intervention and practical support for families rather than general children’s services. The selected provider, Resources for Autism, is a London-based voluntary, community and social enterprise and small or medium-sized organisation. Organisations working in autism support, family intervention, behavioural support and specialist services for disabled children would be the closest commercial comparators for this requirement.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It used a below-threshold procurement route with the specific method recorded as unknown, under the light-touch regime. One lot was awarded to Resources for Autism. The award is active and the contract was signed on 15 July 2026. The contract runs from 16 July 2026 to 15 July 2027. Its value is £49,523, or £61,523 including gross amounts, in GBP. The published outcome identifies health and social work services as the classification. The contract is below the relevant threshold. The award record does not set out a separate evaluation weighting or detailed eligibility requirements.

This outcome demonstrates a defined local demand for specialist autism early-intervention support delivered directly in families’ homes. Competitors would need a credible service model for intensive behavioural support, with staff able to work appropriately with autistic children and young people and to support their families. Relevant experience of working with disabled children’s services, safeguarding and coordinated family support would strengthen a future response. Providers should also be able to operate as a focused community-based service in Hackney and manage a pilot-style programme with clear delivery arrangements. The selected supplier’s SME and voluntary, community and social enterprise status indicates that this requirement can suit specialist organisations as well as larger providers, provided they can demonstrate the necessary expertise and operational capacity.
