This initiative falls under the category of "Provision of services to the community" and is targeted at addressing urgent autism support needs for children and young people within the Birmingham area. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses focused on community services, particularly those with experience in delivering autism support. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community social enterprises (VCSE) are especially well-suited to participate, as they align with the objectives of Birmingham Children's Partnership to improve service delivery tailored to community needs. The information shared in the market sounding event will provide insights into the upcoming procurement process, enabling businesses to better prepare their proposals and potentially contribute to enhancing support for up to 3,000 families across Birmingham. ## Notice We invite you to attend a virtual market sounding event during which we will disucss details of a potential upcoming procurement process, as related to the delivery of a person-centred autism support service to up to 3000 families / 6,000-8,000 individuals across Birmingham, linked to the Early Help Localities Model.
