This procurement falls under the Education and training services category with a value of £551,709. The planning phase is currently underway, with a key engagement event scheduled for 10th January 2020, which will allow potential providers to learn more about the service specification and the tender process prior to the service's commencement in September 2020. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in educational support, autism services, or social work, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary and community sector organisations (VCSEs). Companies that are well-versed in delivering training and direct intervention to early years settings and schools would be particularly suited to compete for this contract, enabling them to expand their reach and impact in the community while contributing to the well-being of children with autism. ## Notice The ASD Support Service provides training, advice and support to early year's settings and schools. It also provides some direct, specialist intervention with individual children and families. This support is essential in ensuring that children with autism are able to sustain their school placements and are supported to achieve and thrive. As part of the work to re-commission an ASD Support Service in BANES, a consultation and full review was carried out to develop a clear understanding of what this new service specification should include. This consultation was started in November 2018 with all stakeholders, including parent/carers, educational settings, other professionals and children/young people with ASD. The Council are holding a pre-tender, engagement event on Friday 10th January 2020 at 1pm for potential providers. This will provide us with the opportunity to provide interested parties with the results of this consultation, share our proposed service specification and provide details regarding the tender process. The tender process will take place to commission a provider to run the service from September 2020.
