## Summary

The contract process, initiated by Salford City Council, focuses on the provision of allied health professionals' therapy for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). This contract under the 'Health and social work services' category addresses services such as occupational therapy, physiotherapy, audiology, and speech and language therapy. The procurement process followed a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, in compliance with the Provider Selection Regime; the direct award approach classifies the procurement as outside the directive's scope. The contract, valued at £55,497, was awarded to Northern Care Alliance NHS Foundation Trust on 24th March 2026, covering the Manchester area (region UKD34).

This procurement provides significant opportunities for specialised health service providers looking to expand their involvement with public health initiatives. Businesses that offer occupational therapy, physiotherapy, audiology, and speech and language therapy, especially those with experience in SEND services, will find this tender particularly relevant. While the contract was directly awarded to an incumbent provider, understanding the procurement landscape and aligning business offerings with local authority needs, such as those of Salford City Council, can enhance growth prospects in subsequent opportunities.
