## Summary

The London Borough of Hackney procured an interim children’s integrated speech and language therapy service. It covers interventions for children with speech, language, communication, swallowing or eating needs, aiming to support their communication development. The service includes direct work aligned with each child’s Education, Health and Care Plan, plus indirect support through professional training and guidance for parents and carers. Delivery spans Young Hackney, the Youth Justice Virtual School, schools and early years provision in Hackney, England. This is a healthcare service (CPV 85000000), rather than a purchase of goods or construction work.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Homerton Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust on 26 August 2026. Hackney used the Provider Selection Regime’s direct award process C. The contract begins on 1 October 2026 and runs to 31 March 2028, with a stated initial six-month term and two possible six-month extensions. Its maximum value, including extensions, is £2,202,101. The procurement was not divided into lots. The response deadline was 2 July 2026. The notice describes the award route but gives no comparative scoring or evaluation criteria; the award was made through the direct award process under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023.

For a future requirement from Hackney, a credible provider would need to deliver integrated therapy for children across local authority, education, early years and youth justice settings. The service calls for the clinical capability to assess and intervene in speech, language, communication, swallowing and eating needs, and to align direct interventions with children’s Education, Health and Care Plans. Providers would also need to support the wider network around each child through professional training and practical guidance for parents and carers. The award demonstrates demand for a coordinated, borough-wide service rather than a narrowly clinic-based offer. The selected provider was a large NHS foundation trust, and the procurement was made through the Provider Selection Regime’s direct award route; suppliers should understand that framework when assessing this buyer’s future requirement.

The maximum total contract value including extensions is PS2,202,101.00. The contract covers the delivering of interventions to children with speech, language, communication, or swallowing and eating needs to help them reach their full communication potential.
