## Summary

Derbyshire County Council is conducting a public procurement process for the "SSD 19 10 Autism Information and Advice Service", aimed at providing essential information and advice to individuals aged 16 and over with Autism Spectrum Conditions in Derbyshire. The procurement falls under the health and social work services category and has reached the award stage, with the contract awarded on 2nd September 2019. The service aims to operate proactively across Derbyshire, emphasising preventative support. The initial contract period spans from 1st December 2019 to 30th November 2021, with a budget of £60,000 per annum, while the tender process was concluded on 1st August 2019.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those specialising in health and social care, counselling, and support services for individuals with Autism. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly well-suited to compete for this tender, as the council is seeking providers with relevant expertise and a person-centred approach. The service will not only help increase support availability but also enhance community engagement, making it an attractive venture for organisations looking to expand their impact in the sector.

## Notice

Derbyshire County Council Adult Care are inviting tenders from organisations experienced in the provision of Information and Advice for Autism Spectrum Conditions (ASC) to people aged 16 and over. We also wish to engage with providers on the delivery of the service. In Derbyshire there is currently a service that provides access to post diagnostic education, counselling and coaching support for people with ASC and their families/carers. The new Information and Advice Service for Autism Spectrum Conditions will have a preventative focus and will work alongside people who may not currently be eligible for social care support, as defined by the Care Act 2014. The provider will be expected to work pro-actively with people across Derbyshire, utilising a person centred and flexible approach which prevents or delays support needs increasing. The Information and Advice Service for Autism will consist of two elements: * Appropriate information and advice to support people with ASC to make informed decisions about their current and future support needs. To support professionals seeking further information and advice to appropriately support people with ASC. * Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC) awareness raising to a variety of audiences and the development of a Derbyshire Autism Engagement Network. The contract length will be for two years, with the option to extend for a further period of twelve months. The contract budget will be PS60,000 per annum, with off payment of an additional PS20,000 for Year 1.
