## Summary

Derbyshire County Council is currently seeking tenders for the project titled "SSD 17 01 - Autism Spectrum Conditions Self Management and Education Support". This initiative, part of the health and social work services category, aims to provide a Self-Management Education Programme for adults living with autism spectrum disorders and their support networks within Derbyshire, excluding Derby City. The open tender process is active, with submissions due by 12th October 2017. The total budget for this contract is £281,000, and the service is expected to commence on 1st April 2018, running through to 31st March 2021.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses in the health and social care sector, particularly those specialising in autism support services, educational programmes, and community wellbeing initiatives. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, as the council is interested in innovative approaches that align with statutory requirements and promote wellbeing in the community. Companies positioned to develop and deliver effective support strategies for autistic individuals and their networks will find this opportunity particularly relevant for expanding their service offerings in the region.

## Notice

Derbyshire County Council Adult Care are inviting tenders from suitably qualified providers to deliver a Self-Management Education Programme for adults living with autism spectrum disorders, and their immediate support network, in Derbyshire, but excluding Derby City. The service will provide information, advice and strategies for adults living with Autism Spectrum Disorders and their immediate support network. The service will ensure the county council meets statutory duties, such as the Autism Act 2009 and Equality Act 2010 and the Accessible Information Standard. It will also have a prevention and wellbeing focus in line with the principles in the Care Act 2014. The successful bidder must be prepared to deliver this service in Derby City should the Council choose to extend the service to cover this geographical area. This would be subject to additional funding and would not impact on the volume of service provided in Derbyshire.
