This procurement is in the planning stage, with key milestones including an engagement end date set for 8th July 2022. The support programme aims to assist Autistic young adults in the Tees Valley region of the North East, UK, by providing tailored support over several weeks, either online or face-to-face. Interested organisations must register on the In-Tend electronic tendering portal to participate. This tender represents a significant opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that specialise in health service delivery, particularly those experienced in working with Autistic individuals or youth support services. By offering a support programme addressing decision-making, advocacy, and personal development, businesses in the health and social care sector can expand their footprint while contributing valuable services to a vulnerable demographic in the community. ## Notice Tees Valley CCG have recently undertaken consultation with Autistic young people aged 16 to 25 who live in the Tees Valley to understand what support is available for their specific age group. We asked what post diagnostic support they felt was currently available, in particular when diagnosed at an older age, but also including what support is out there to help them understand themselves, their diagnosis and needs. The consultation led to a clear need across the Tees Valley for a support programme for this cohort of young people which would touch on many areas of their lives and how they can best understand and manage their needs to ensure they can live their best life and achieve their potential. We invite expressions of interest from organisations who are able to provide a support programme for Autistic young adults aged between 16 and 25 years. We envisage that the support service will offer an online or F2F (venue to be provided by the organisation) programme which will run over a number of weeks. We would also envisage the course being accompanied by a support worker who can help the individual needs of the young people whilst they are engaged with the course. These needs could be for example; support with decision making, acting as an advocate, helping with individual issues the young person is experiencing that is preventing them from living a fulfilling life such as issues with employment, personal needs, family support or navigation between support services.
