This procurement falls under the health and social work services category, with a total contract value of £720,000. The tender is currently active and will close on 6th June 2018. The contract period is scheduled to commence on 1st September 2018 and conclude on 31st August 2021. This procurement will follow an open procedure, allowing participation from a wide range of suppliers. This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in speech and language therapy, educational support services, and professional training. Companies that can demonstrate expertise in developing teaching professionals' skills or delivering direct interventions to children will find this contract well-suited to their offerings. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as well as voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly encouraged to apply, potentially positioning their services in an important and impactful sector. ## Notice The Council has a statutory duty to provide support for children and young people with special educational needs. One such service is speech and language therapy, which for this service will support primarily school pupils to access the national curriculum. The service will be for primary school pupils in mainstream schools within the London Borough of Tower Hamlets. The principal delivery mode of this service will be to train teaching professionals to be able to deliver some initial SaLT through newly acquired skills and tools to be used in the classroom; then via formal and accredited training courses teaching professionals will be able to deliver more complex SaLT. This approach will be complimented by group and 1:1 interventions delivered directly by the service provider to children. Whilst primarily the service will be delivered in schools and within term time there is scope for providers to consider a nuanced approach to delivery, which could include work outside of the locations and times cited. Providers will contribute into the review of individual Education, Health & Care Plans as well as annual or other periodical reviews by educational institutions. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e515b9a9-fa69-4ad4-838d-10bac21521d8 | | 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 | 17 May 2018 | | Submission deadline | 6 Jun 2018 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Aug 2018 - 31 Aug 2021 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £720,000 | | 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 | TOWER HAMLETS | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | East London | | Postcode | E14 2BG | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI4 Inner London - East | | ITL 3 | TLI42 Tower Hamlets | | Local authority | Tower Hamlets | | Electoral ward | Poplar | | Westminster constituency | Poplar and Limehouse | | Delivery location | TLI London | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85000000 - Health and social work services ## Release History - 17 May 2018 at 07:31 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e515b9a9-fa69-4ad4-838d-10bac21521d8 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e515b9a9-fa69-4ad4-838d-10bac21521d8 17th May 2018 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - http://www.londontenders.org Full details of this opportunity are available via the London Tenders Portal ## Notice URLs - http://www.towerhamlets.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
