## Summary

The NHS Central London Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG), representing a collaboration of multiple CCGs in North West London, is inviting competitive proposals for a pilot service titled "Autism Support Advice and Social Prescribing across NW London." This procurement falls within the health services industry, specifically focusing on providing support to autistic individuals without learning disabilities. The tender process is currently at the award stage, with the contract valued at £220,000 intended to commence from 1st April 2021 and last for 12 months, potentially extendable for an additional year, bringing the total value up to £440,000. The deadline for submissions was set for 12 noon on 12th March 2021.

This opportunity presents significant potential for businesses, particularly those in the non-profit sector, to engage in providing essential support and training related to autism awareness. Companies specialising in health training services, community health services, guidance services, and related areas would find this tender especially suited to their expertise. As the service aims to enhance support for autistic individuals and improve awareness within communities, firms that are experienced in delivering social prescribing or training services to educators and healthcare providers are encouraged to compete for this contract.

## Notice

North West London Collaboration of CCGs is inviting COMPETITIVE PROPOSALS for the provision of a new pilot service which will offer support, advice and social prescribing to autistic young people and adults who do not have a learning disability. The service will also offer specialist training and advice to employers as well as health, social care, and education providers to improve autism awareness in communities and the wider system across the NW London boroughs. The contract value will be PS220k to set up and pilot this new service from April 2021 for about 12 months or possibly longer. There is no guarantee that the service will continue longer than one year, although rights are reserved for the possibility of this being extended by a further year (2 years maximum) having a potential value of up to PS440k. Without specifying that the provider must be from the not-for-profit sector, this opportunity is likely to interest such an organisation. A service specification is attached to enable interested providers to assess their level of interest. There is a desire for this pilot service to commence as soon as possible so that autistic people can benefit during the first half of 2021. With this intention, this procurement process intends to award a contract to the most capable provider offering the highest levels of confidence to deliver value for money, before the end of March 2021.
