Summary of the contracting process

Perth & Kinross Council commissioned bespoke family support for neurodivergent children and young people who face barriers to attending education. The service is intended to provide tailored support to families and children, addressing individual circumstances that affect attendance. This is a public service requirement rather than a supply of goods or construction work. The contract sits within education and social support services and is classified under CPV 85311300, covering welfare services for children and young people. The named buyer is Perth & Kinross Council, based in Perth. The awarded supplier, Perth Autism Support, is an SME located in Perth, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by a specialist local support organisation with relevant understanding of autism, neurodiversity, families and attendance-related barriers.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a selective restricted procedure under the existing framework for Education and Social Support Services. One electronic bid was received, and the contract was awarded to Perth Autism Support for the single lot. The contract value is £55,000. It was signed on 16 September 2026 and is recorded as active. The award was made against the framework reference PROC/C&F/01/24. The published outcome shows one bid, all from an SME, with no bids from suppliers outside the UK or from EU or non-EU countries. The available information identifies the selected supplier and contract value, but does not set out an award date or contract end date.

This procurement demonstrates demand from Perth & Kinross Council for specialist, person-centred support for neurodivergent children and young people whose education attendance is affected by family or individual barriers. A credible future provider would need practical experience of autism and wider neurodiversity, safeguarding children, working directly with families, and designing support around differing needs rather than delivering a standardised service. It would also need to understand attendance difficulties and work constructively with education, social care and family networks. The result shows that a small specialist organisation can meet this type of requirement, and that relevant local knowledge may be useful. Suppliers with established family-support delivery, appropriately qualified staff, strong partnership working and the capacity to provide bespoke interventions would be well placed when this requirement is next considered.
