## Summary

The recent public procurement process for "Participation Support" was conducted by North Yorkshire County Council, aimed at providing services for individuals with learning disabilities and/or autism across North Yorkshire. This procurement falls under the health and social work services category and was published on 9th November 2018. The tender process, carried out using an open procurement method, concluded on 6th December 2018.

This tender presents significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that specialise in health and social care services. Businesses that provide support services for individuals with learning disabilities or autism, as well as those with expertise in self-advocacy and partnership working with local councils, would be particularly well-positioned to compete for such contracts.
