The contracts are expected to begin in January 2023 and last until the required assessments are completed, with a contract term of less than a year. Deadline for tender submission is October 24, 2022. The procurement falls under the Health and social work services category and follows an open procedure above the threshold. This tender by HCT offers opportunities for companies providing health and social work services to grow their business by delivering Occupational Therapy assessments and interventions. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise organisations (VCSEs) are considered suitable for this tender. Businesses that can offer a value for money, high-quality service responsive to client needs will be well-suited to compete. Effective contract management and liaison with key contacts at HCT are essential for success. ## Notice Hertfordshire Community NHS Trust ("HCT") (the Authority") has a waiting list of children and young people that require Occupational Therapy assessments and interventions. HCT is working with the Herts and West Essex Integrated Care Board (HWEICB) and Hertfordshire County Council (HCC) to outsource most of these patients in an effort to reduce the waiting times for an assessment and interventions. As such, the Authorities are seeking proposals from appropriately qualified companies who can take on the outstanding assessments and interventions to assist with reducing the numbers of children and young people on the waiting list. HCT is seeking a value for money, high quality service that will be responsive to the needs of the client. Robust contract management and good effective liaison with HCT's key contacts will be required. Contracts are anticipated to go live in January 2023 and will run until the agreed number of assessments and interventions is completed. It is expected that the contract term will be less than a year. In the event of any bidders not being able to complete the required amount of assessments in the timeframe specified, HCT reserves the right to award to additional bidders in order to complete the assessments.
