## Summary

NHS England is planning to initiate a tender for the "Autism Schools Project Support," aimed at enhancing the understanding of autism within up to 20 secondary schools across London. Classified under the Education and Training Services category, this project encompasses a budget of £600,000 and is part of an open procurement method. The project’s contract period is set to commence on 1st December 2021 and conclude on 29th April 2022, with a key communication deadline for future notices scheduled for 10th December 2021. The buyer located in Leeds, LS2 7UE, is seeking one experienced organisation to utilise their expertise in project management for the successful delivery of this initiative.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for organisations with extensive backgrounds in education, project management, and autism awareness to compete. Ideal candidates would be those capable of developing and delivering accredited training to educators and school staff, as well as engaging effectively with parent carer forums. Businesses that specialise in educational services, particularly those focused on special education and medical education, are well-suited to pursue this tender, thus contributing significantly to the project’s goals and potentially fostering growth within their operations.

## Notice

The Autism Schools Project aims to improve the understanding of autism and how personalisation and reasonable adjustments can be used to improve access to education and extracurricular actives within up to 20 secondary schools across London. One organisation (a single-tender action) is being sought with extensive experience of Project Management to deliver the Autism Schools Project. The organisation must have developed a training package to deliver to educators, school staff and parent carer forum representatives that is approved and accredited by the Department for Education. The single organisation must have evidence of formally evaluating research or projects and programmes, and have a demonstrable ability to transfer funding/resources to schools and PCFs. The organisation will also be required to have the knowledge and ability to introduce/coordinate sensory walks, in partnership with expert organisations where appropriate, and support the school in making subsequent environmental adaptations. A strong history of working with autistic people, their families and with parent carer forums is essential. The organisation should also have the relevant experience to identify and engage with other relevant services where identified as necessary such as CAMHS, OT and gender identity services. This project will be overseen via the Learning Disability and Autism London region program and by a steering group including representation from parent carer forums and young people themselves
