## Summary

The recent procurement tender, organised by the Open Thinking Partnership, aimed to award a contract for "Occupational Therapy Services." This contract is set within the education and health service sectors and is based in Hinckley, United Kingdom, specifically targeting Leicestershire schools. The contracting authority, Open Thinking Partnership, classified as a public authority within sub-central government, utilised an open procurement procedure. The procurement process has been completed, with the award stage finalised. The contract, valued at approximately £439,236 in gross terms, was signed on 8 May 2026, and spans three years from 24 August 2026 to 23 August 2029. This contract caters to services across multiple locations within the United Kingdom, such as regions UKF and UKG, and includes essential services like occupational therapy throughout school terms and outside term times for continuous professional development.

This procurement process presents significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the therapy service sector, particularly those skilled in occupational therapy, to expand their reach into the public sector market. Businesses providing occupational therapy services that have arrangements for clinical supervision, legal registration, and appropriate insurance coverage are ideally positioned to meet the tender requirements. Additionally, organisations focusing on enhancing educational outcomes through specialised interventions and staff training would benefit considerably from the opportunities afforded by this contract. Such engagements ensure the provision of high-quality specialist support and the implementation of evidence-based programmes aimed at improving student engagement and learning within the education system.
