This tender falls within the health and social work services category, specifically targeting support for children and young people aged 0-25 years facing difficulties with everyday activities due to special needs. The procurement process is currently at the Tender stage, with a submission deadline set for 7th March 2022. The anticipated contract duration is from 1st April 2022 to 30th September 2022, with a total contract value of £130,000, excluding VAT. The services will be provided in London, specifically in Bromley Schools and Settings, and potentially in home settings when appropriate. This opportunity presents a significant avenue for business growth, particularly for organisations specialising in occupational therapy for children and young people with special educational needs. Businesses that can collaborate effectively with existing providers, such as Bromley Healthcare, and demonstrate a capacity to deliver high-quality services within the specified timeframe will be well-positioned to compete. Additionally, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations are encouraged to participate, as the procurement aims to broaden the list of preferred suppliers to enhance the delivery of therapy services in the borough. ## Notice NHS South East London CCG (Bromley borough) is seeking to commission a provider of Special Educational Needs and Disabilities Occupational Therapy (SEND OT) services.
