The procurement falls under the social work and related services category, with a contract value of £140,000 in GBP. The tender is at the open stage, with a tender period ending on 2nd August 2024 and a contract period running from 1st September 2024 to 31st August 2026. The delivery address for the services is in Yorkshire and the Humber region, United Kingdom. This tender presents an opportunity for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) to compete. Businesses with expertise in occupational therapy and sensory integration, especially those with experience in educational settings, are well-suited for this tender. The provision of tailored educational services for children and young people with special needs forms a crucial aspect of this contracting opportunity, emphasizing the importance of quality service delivery within tight tribunal timescales as mandated by the Local authority. ## Notice The NYC SEND Strategic Plan is committed to the roll out of Targeted Mainstream Provisions at primary and secondary. The purpose is to provide a suitable education provision for children and young people whose needs cannot be effectively supported in a typical mainstream environment and who require smaller group teaching from staff with additional specialist training whilst still able to access a broad and balanced National Curriculum offer. In addition, there is an increased pressure on including Occupational Therapy provision within section F of the Education Health care plan post tribunal and an increased number of families commissioning private OT assessments around sensory needs and provision to include this provision within section F. This means the Local authority are then duty bound to deliver the provision. This has led to an increased requirement for Occupational Therapy Assessments to provide advice and witness testimony within tight Tribunal timescales. At times, Occupational Therapy input may be mandated by the Tribunal and the provision may fall outside NHS criteria for the service. The number of cases requiring mandated provision that sits outside of the NHS criteria for services would also need to be delivered through this service to ensure compliance with the Tribunal mandated input. Some of this input requires sensory integration trained practitioners. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2d605322-eaf6-4c86-bc33-e980c6b12c3d | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 4 Jul 2024 | | Submission deadline | 2 Aug 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Aug 2024 - 31 Aug 2026 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £140,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | THE NORTH YORKSHIRE COUNCIL | | Locality | NORTHALLERTON | | Post town | Darlington | | Postcode | DL7 8AD | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | | ITL 2 | TLE2 North Yorkshire | | ITL 3 | TLE22 North Yorkshire | | Local authority | North Yorkshire | | Electoral ward | Romanby | | Westminster constituency | Richmond and Northallerton | | Delivery location | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85300000 - Social work and related services ## Release History - 4 Jul 2024 at 13:49 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2d605322-eaf6-4c86-bc33-e980c6b12c3d ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2d605322-eaf6-4c86-bc33-e980c6b12c3d 4th July 2024 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://uk.eu-supply.com/app/rfq/rwlentrance_s.asp?PID=81913&B=UK Additional data - https://uk.eu-supply.com/ctm/Company/CompanyInformation/Index/104117 User / Company ## Notice URLs - https://www.northyorks.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
