## Summary

Newcastle City Council commissioned paediatric occupational therapy adaptation services to support children and young people with additional needs. The work is intended to maintain the service and help the council meet its statutory obligations while new end-to-end arrangements are mobilised following a system-wide SEND therapies review. This is a health and social work service, covering occupational therapy adaptations rather than general construction or equipment supply. Delivery is for Newcastle City Council’s service users in the United Kingdom. The requirement was structured as one lot and was procured as an interim service from The Occupational Therapy Service Limited, an Alnwick-based supplier. Businesses with specialist paediatric occupational therapy and adaptation delivery capabilities would find the subject matter most relevant.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. Newcastle City Council used a direct award below the relevant threshold, without competition, under the light-touch regime. The award was made on 15 September 2026 to The Occupational Therapy Service Limited. Its value is £47,500 excluding VAT and £57,000 including VAT. The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 31 December 2026, providing a three-month interim service. The award covers the single lot and is recorded as active, while the tender is complete. The stated purpose is to maintain paediatric occupational therapy adaptations and meet statutory obligations during mobilisation of new service arrangements. The recorded route was direct procurement rather than an open or scored competition.

This award indicates established demand from Newcastle City Council for a short-term paediatric occupational therapy adaptations service supporting children and young people with SEND. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need practitioners able to assess occupational therapy needs, specify or arrange appropriate adaptations, and deliver safely for children and families. Experience of working with local authority statutory duties and wider SEND therapy systems would be relevant, as would the operational capacity to provide continuity while service arrangements change. The successful supplier is an SME specialising in occupational therapy, showing that the requirement can suit a focused specialist provider rather than only a large multidisciplinary contractor. Relevant firms should be able to evidence paediatric practice, adaptation delivery and dependable case management.

## Notice

This contract is for 3-month for Paediatric Occupational Therapy Adaptations to The Occupational Therapy Service (TOTS). 3.4 This proposed short term contract will allow the service to continue, and statutory obligations to be met, whilst new arrangements are mobilised for the end to end service, in line with the systemwide SEND Therapies review.
