This process, classified under health and social work services, will primarily take place in the East Midlands region of the United Kingdom. Currently in the planning stage, the engagement period will conclude on 19th February 2020. Interested parties are encouraged to communicate with Julie Lee for more information regarding the tender framework and processes involved. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in autism support services, particularly those capable of delivering flexible, nuanced, and person-centred care. Companies that provide health and social work services, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), are well-positioned to compete in this market. With the chance to become a preferred provider within a committed support framework, businesses will be able to contribute to enhancing the lives of individuals requiring complex care support, while simultaneously fostering their own growth within the sector. ## Notice Market Engagement Opportunity. It is our intention to procure a small group of preferred providers under an outcomes based commissioning and contract framework who are committed to supporting a number of individuals without a learning disability or a diagnosed mental health need whose primary support needs relate to autism and whose support needs can be described as being multiple and specific. Essentially these are individuals who require a high degree of person centred and 'fine-tuned' support that is flexible, nuanced and responsive to a range of influences that are unique to each individual. We are aiming to secure a specific model of support that will work with these individuals of all ages and their families as well as local professionals and agencies to offer skilled active support within a committed framework of support. This will cover the needs of individuals of all ages. Please see Final Market Test Statement - Highly Complex Autism Support Feb 2020 (document attached) for further information. Please contact Julie Lee to register interest. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0c445a7d-a33a-434f-a325-d3cefa6b6194 | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 7 Feb 2020 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 19 Feb 2020 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NORTHAMPTONSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL | | Locality | NORTHAMPTON | | Post town | Northampton | | Postcode | NN1 1ED | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLF East Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLF2 Leicestershire, Rutland and Northamptonshire | | ITL 3 | TLF24 West Northamptonshire | | Local authority | West Northamptonshire | | Electoral ward | Castle | | Westminster constituency | Northampton North | | Delivery location | TLF East Midlands (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85000000 - Health and social work services ## Release History - 7 Feb 2020 at 09:05 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0c445a7d-a33a-434f-a325-d3cefa6b6194 - 5 Feb 2020 at 09:07 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/bff17266-ff47-465c-9e7a-1d4021aca5be ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0c445a7d-a33a-434f-a325-d3cefa6b6194 7th February 2020 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/bff17266-ff47-465c-9e7a-1d4021aca5be 5th February 2020 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=54bab863-5e46-ea11-80ff-005056b64545 Advert ## Notice URLs - https://www.lgss.co.uk/about/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
