This tender by North Northamptonshire Council presents an opportunity for habilitation specialist service providers to work with children with visual impairments. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations are well-suited to compete.

The procurement process is at the tender stage, offering potential growth avenues to qualified providers in the education and training services sector. ## Notice North Northamptonshire Council (hereafter referred to "NNC") and West Northamptonshire Council (hereafter referred to as "WNC") are seeking qualified and experienced habilitation specialists (hereafter referred to as "HS") to complete discrete pieces of work with students aged 0 to 19 years to develop independent skills. NNC requires a HS service to work with children with visual impairments. The specialists will need to have to be qualified and registered practitioners. HS are required to train young people with vision impairments in the use of alternative independence strategies. They will support and advise carers on alternative skill learning for the child, using a range of strategies customised to the age, needs and development of the child. HS will be required to work with school staff, along with other professionals, to develop the child's independence when travelling to, being at and returning home from school. This includes developing their independence skills in many areas of personal life such as dressing skills, personal care and eating, safe travel, shopping, and leisure activities. HS will need to assess children and then make recommendations based on the child's age, need and developmental stage. The HS will then offer training programmes which are bespoke and written for the child's individual needs. The HS will need to keep and submit accurate records, monitoring reports and final report paperwork. The HS will need to adhere to all NNC health and safety, Risk Management, Data Management, and quality requirements. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a60727a8-a0cb-45dc-bc16-cd7705794e39 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Limited | | Procurement method details | Competitive quotation (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 13 Dec 2023 | | Submission deadline | 29 Mar 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 30 Dec 2022 | | Contract period | 30 Dec 2022 - 29 Dec 2024 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £15,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £80,000 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NORTH NORTHAMPTONSHIRE COUNCIL | | Locality | CORBY | | Post town | Northampton | | Postcode | NN16 8TL | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLF East Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLF2 Leicestershire, Rutland and Northamptonshire | | ITL 3 | TLF25 North Northamptonshire | | Local authority | North Northamptonshire | | Electoral ward | Northall | | Westminster constituency | Kettering | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | SONOVA | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 80 - Education and training services ### Codes - 80000000 - Education and training services ## Release History - 13 Dec 2023 at 11:06 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a60727a8-a0cb-45dc-bc16-cd7705794e39 - 13 Dec 2023 at 11:03 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f4205155-9f87-4c8b-8542-55696b917c46 - 20 Mar 2023 at 16:32 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f4205155-9f87-4c8b-8542-55696b917c46 - 14 Mar 2023 at 12:48 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f4205155-9f87-4c8b-8542-55696b917c46 - 14 Mar 2023 at 09:45 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f4205155-9f87-4c8b-8542-55696b917c46 - 13 Mar 2023 at 16:21 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f4205155-9f87-4c8b-8542-55696b917c46 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a60727a8-a0cb-45dc-bc16-cd7705794e39 13th December 2023 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f4205155-9f87-4c8b-8542-55696b917c46 13th December 2023 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/1e457e17-3bac-458f-8d42-f79001bfbfc3 Specification Habilitation - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/50265f58-fc02-44bd-ad0b-d49a456feb2f - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/fe389a17-164f-4b6a-9ee4-250d589d9dc0 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/1053b88b-14d0-406c-9639-6168f21a5960 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/b7a1bae2-efb7-4041-bb59-ba1a354b8c12 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
