## Summary

Derbyshire County Council, in coordination with Derby City Council, Nottinghamshire County Council, and Nottingham City Council, has completed the tender process for the "CCS028 Therapeutic Assessment to Support Education and Health Care Plan Delivery". The procurement falls under the Health and social work services industry category (CPV code 85000000) and aims to support the timely and effective delivery of assessments for Education and Health Care Plans across various regions in the United Kingdom, including North East, North West, and several others. The tender was published on 12th June 2024, with a contract period from 21st August 2024 to 17th September 2028 and a total value of £2,400,000. The open procedure procurement method allowed for providers to join a framework split into four lots: Educational Psychology, Speech and Language Therapy, Occupational Therapy and Sensory Therapy, and Physiotherapy, with a tender period closing on 12th July 2024.

This framework creates significant business opportunities by enabling providers to deliver specialised therapeutic assessments, thereby improving outcomes for children with educational needs. Companies specialising in educational psychology, speech and language therapy, occupational or sensory therapy, and physiotherapy are well-suited to compete for these lots. The procurement process under the Light Touch Regime makes it accessible for SMEs and VCSEs, promoting a diverse range of suppliers. This approach not only supports business growth for existing suppliers but also opens periodic opportunities for new entrants to join the framework, ensuring an ongoing and competitive provision of essential services.
