The contract, valued at £145,000 per annum, covers a period of three years, starting from 1st August 2018, with an optional one-year extension, potentially extending the total term to four years. The service requires a provider to deliver family-centred sleep advice, focusing on addressing sleep disorders, improving daytime performance, and enhancing overall outcomes for both children and families. Notably, tenders for this service had to be submitted by 12:00 noon on 4th April 2018, with the authority overseeing the project confirming TUPE regulations applicable at the contract's commencement. This contract presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in health and social work services, particularly those with experience in delivering family support and interventions for children with SEND. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that can offer tailored, flexible services to meet the needs of families will find this tender particularly relevant. Suppliers equipped with knowledge of behavioural and cognitive strategies related to sleep disorders, as well as those skilled in community engagement and education on sleep-related issues, would be well-positioned to compete for this contract, thereby positioning themselves for growth within the public sector market. ## Notice Northamptonshire County Council invites tenders for the delivery of a Sleep Service for children and young people with SEND in Northamptonshire.
