This project will require a contractor to work with a core project group and in co-production with experts with lived experience to construct a capability framework for Autism Peer Support. It is expected that the contractor will draw on and evaluate the relevance of capabilities that have previously been identified as useful for delivering peer support in generic settings for this work and build on these, adding additional unique skills and knowledge that are required to support autistic people. As part of the process contractors will also be required to translate intelligence gathered from a national stakeholder engagement exercise to identify autism specific knowledge elements, into capabilities. The supplier will then be required to map these together with any relevant peer support generic capabilities to create a framework that describes the knowledge and skills required to successfully deliver peer to autistic people. The outcomes of this contract will be used to inform the next phase of the project which will be to develop a national education curriculum for autism peer support training. The contractor appointed to deliver the mapping contract would be expected to work with HEE to support the smooth flow of information and outputs from this project for any supplier that is appointed to undertake the work to develop an education curriculum. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6ad27b85-a974-46cb-93b5-730262fb8ce6 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 14 Oct 2021 | | Submission deadline | 25 Oct 2021 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 17 Jan 2022 - 11 Feb 2022 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £50,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | HEALTH EDUCATION ENGLAND | | Locality | LEEDS | | Post town | Leeds | | Postcode | LS1 4PL | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | | ITL 2 | TLE4 West Yorkshire | | ITL 3 | TLE42 Leeds | | Local authority | Leeds | | Electoral ward | Little London & Woodhouse | | Westminster constituency | Leeds Central and Headingley | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England), TLH East (England), TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 80 - Education and training services ### Codes - 80340000 - Special education services - 80570000 - Personal development training services ## Release History - 14 Oct 2021 at 17:58 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6ad27b85-a974-46cb-93b5-730262fb8ce6 - 12 Oct 2021 at 11:37 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/deaa2b5f-c63d-443f-bbb0-f0e53fd3f171 - 7 Oct 2021 at 14:41 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d7f3e440-a3c7-4b4b-aa0b-22f5303420f9 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6ad27b85-a974-46cb-93b5-730262fb8ce6 14th October 2021 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/deaa2b5f-c63d-443f-bbb0-f0e53fd3f171 12th October 2021 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d7f3e440-a3c7-4b4b-aa0b-22f5303420f9 7th October 2021 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - https://hee.nhs.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
