The Quality Inclusion Team (QIT) sits within the SEND Early help and education service of Leicester City Council. The QIT supports children and young people to reach their potential in education by providing a point of referral to assess additional needs in meeting their educational aspirations. On a successful referral the QIT will make provisions for specialist and non-specialist equipment and monitor their usage and suitability throughout the child and young person's educational journey. The main purpose of introducing a digital referral system for assistive technology is to underpin the departments' strategic goals to digitalise the process to refine and maximise both the experience of the users (speech and Language Therapists, Special Educational Needs and Disability Coordinators and teachers) but to also streamline the process for the service. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ae3ef186-83ca-4fea-a390-555af91df663 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 11 Oct 2023 | | Submission deadline | 2 Nov 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 7 Jan 2024 - 6 Jan 2029 | | 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 | LEICESTER CITY COUNCIL | | Locality | LEICESTER | | Post town | Leicester | | Postcode | LE1 1FZ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLF East Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLF2 Leicestershire, Rutland and Northamptonshire | | ITL 3 | TLF21 Leicester | | Local authority | Leicester | | Electoral ward | Castle | | Westminster constituency | Leicester South | | 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 - 48 - Software package and information systems ### Codes - 48000000 - Software package and information systems ## Release History - 11 Oct 2023 at 15:01 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ae3ef186-83ca-4fea-a390-555af91df663 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ae3ef186-83ca-4fea-a390-555af91df663 11th October 2023 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=d4453580-4668-ee11-8124-005056b64545 Advert ## Notice URLs - http://www.leicester.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
