## Summary

Derbyshire County Council, in collaboration with Derby City Council, Nottinghamshire County Council, and Nottingham City Council, has completed a public procurement process aimed at securing therapeutic assessment services to support Education and Health Care Plan (EHCP) delivery. The contract, valued at £2,400,000, falls under the Health and Social Work Services category and encompasses four lots: Educational Psychology, Speech and Language Therapy, Occupational Therapy and Sensory Therapy, and Physiotherapy. These services will be provided within the regional cluster of authorities known as D2N2 in England. The procurement followed an open procedure with the tender period having ended on 5th June 2025, and the contract being awarded on 17th July 2025. The service delivery started on 18th August 2025 and is scheduled to conclude on 17th September 2026.

This tender framework presents a significant opportunity for businesses, particularly SMEs and VCSEs, within the health and social services sector to expand their market presence and enhance their service offerings. With provisions for periodic reopening to new applicants, there remains potential for further engagement with Derbyshire County Council and its partners in the D2N2 consortium. Businesses with expertise in psychological assessments, speech and language therapy, occupational and sensory therapy, or physiotherapy are well-positioned to benefit from the opportunities this framework presents, enabling them to contribute to improved outcomes for children in the region.

## Notice

Derbyshire County Council, Derby City Council, Nottinghamshire County Council and Nottingham City Council (D2N2) form a regional cluster in which we aim to collaborate to deliver better outcomes for children. Within this cluster, it has become evident that there is a need for further support from external providers to ensure effective, timely and valuable delivery of assessments to support Education and Health Care Plan (EHCP) delivery for our Children, who require this support. To facilitate more cohesive and efficient delivery of therapeutic assessments which support EHCP delivery and to ensure better outcomes for children whose educational needs are the responsibility of the D2N2 Councils are publishing an opportunity for providers to join a framework. The services to be provided through this framework have been split into 4 lots: a) Lot 1: Educational Psychology b) Lot 2: Speech and Language Therapy c) Lot 3: Occupational Therapy and Sensory Therapy d) Lot 4: Physiotherapy Providers can tender for one or multiple lots, assessment and/or delivery, and do not need to deliver their services to all areas covered by the D2N2 Framework. The framework will be procured under the Light Touch Regime for Social and Other Specific Services, and the Councils anticipate that framework will be reopened periodically to new applicants.
