## Summary

The Sefton Council is inviting tenders for the provision of 'Habilitation and Mobility Training' services for visually impaired children from 1st April 2023 to 31st March 2025, with a possible extension. The Council seeks an organization to deliver personalised training in mobility, orientation, and independence skills meeting Habilitation Quality Standards. The procurement method is an open procedure, with a tender deadline of 11th January 2023. The total contract value is £17,500, and the procurement falls under the 'Education and training services' and 'Health and social work services' categories.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for organisations specialising in habilitation services and training for visually impaired individuals. Businesses qualified to deliver Habilitation Quality Standards set by the Department for Education would be well-suited to compete. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, as the Council has indicated a preference for supporting SMEs in this procurement process, offering potential growth and development opportunities within the services sector.

## Notice

Sighted children watch others and learn. Children who are blind or partially sighted often need to be taught basic skills and concepts that develop naturally in sighted children. The Council is looking for an organisation to provide support for visually impaired children, helping them to develop movement, orientation and independence skills alongside their sighted friends. 'Habilitation' is the process of helping visually impaired children and young people to achieve as much independence as possible in their daily lives. We need the successful organisation to provide personalised training and support in mobility, orientation and independence skills. In order to deliver life changing mobility and independence we are seeking the services of Habilitation Specialists who are qualified to meet the Habilitation Quality Standards published by the Department for Education.
