## Summary

The London Borough of Tower Hamlets has completed the procurement process for the "CS6027 Family Support Service," which aims to deliver guidance and support to families with children and young people diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC) within the borough. This initiative is placed within the health and social work services sector, focusing on family support. The contract has been awarded to the National Autistic Society, announced on 4th February 2026, with the service set to start on 1st April 2026 and continue for an initial period of 24 months with a possible extension to 48 months. The procurement method was an open procedure, inviting broad competition, and the process was inclusive of several bids, demonstrating competitiveness in the market.

This contract presents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in health and social care services, particularly those with expertise in supporting families and individuals with ASC. Businesses that bring innovative solutions and quality service delivery are likely to thrive and expand under such contracts. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) offering high-quality, flexible support options tailored to the unique needs of children with learning difficulties stand a strong chance of benefiting from future opportunities like this in the public sector, promoting growth and enhanced service provision within similar community-focused initiatives.

## Notice

Tower Hamlets has a significant proportion of children with Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC) and learning difficulties; in 2023, the percentage of pupils with an EHCP in Tower Hamlets schools was the fifth highest in England. When a child or young person (CYP) is first diagnosed with ASC, it can be a confusing and overwhelming time for parents/carers. They may not fully understand what the diagnosis means or how best to support their child, or what services are available and how to access them. It is therefore vital that the local authority is able to provide regular and ongoing support to these families, to help meet the needs of their ASC children. The Family Support Service will deliver advice and guidance to the parents and carers of children and young people (CYP) with ASC living in the borough. The service will seek to work in partnership with the Autism Spectrum Disorder Assessment Service (ASDAS) and the Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHs) to ensure that families receive appropriate support at the right time, preferably soon after diagnosis, whilst remaining flexible to meet family's needs at different stages in their journey.
