## Summary

The Sheffield City Council has awarded a contract for Speech and Language Therapist services as part of the Staying Close programme. The procurement process was completed under an open procedure, with a contract value of £108,862 in GBP. The contract period runs from April 18, 2023, to March 31, 2025. The buying organization, Sheffield City Council, located in Sheffield, is seeking services in the Health and social work industry category.

This tender, awarded to Headstart Speech & Behaviour Clinic Ltd, presents an opportunity for businesses specialising in health and social work services to expand their portfolio. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate in providing speech and language support to young people. The tender process allows for flexible and evolving service provisions to cater to emerging needs within the identified Staying Close cohort.

## Notice

This contract is to commission a service to provide speech, language, and communication support to meet the needs of young people in the identified Staying Close cohort. The cohort is identified and engaged by key workers who will be identified from the Aspire Hub Children's homes or a personal advisor. Young people will have influence over who their key worker will be. Base line whole person assessments are completed at this stage, using as assessment tool such as the outcomes star (to be confirmed). There will be a pathway plan for each young person developed that is owned and steered by the young person. The multiagency will work to one plan within the principle of one plan around the young person. Plans will last for the duration of the project and as such will need to be flexible and evolve over time to respond to emerging need. The provider will work as part of a multiagency wrap around team with a small, identified cohort of young people to provide a range of consultation support, training to the team, and assessments and direct interventions with young people.
