## Summary

Cornwall Council commissioned specialist occupational therapy assessments to address an assessment backlog. The assessments are expected to lead to referrals for Disabled Facilities Grants (DFGs), which support adaptations to enable disabled people to live more independently in their homes. This is a health and social work service, specifically occupational therapy assessment and advice linked to housing adaptations. The contract covers one lot, with delivery in the United Kingdom; no more specific delivery location is stated. The buyer is Cornwall Council, based in Truro. The requirement centres on carrying out individual assessments and identifying cases that should proceed to a DFG referral, rather than the provision of building work or adaptations themselves.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to The O.T. Practice Limited. Cornwall Council signed the contract on 23 September 2026. The contract runs from 28 September 2026 to 28 November 2027, with a value of £160,000 excluding VAT (£192,000 including VAT). It was a below-threshold procurement; the specific procedure is recorded as unknown. The process comprised one lot, now complete. The published details do not state evaluation criteria or explain how bids were assessed, so the award basis cannot be described. The award is active and the contract is active. The requirement was for specialist occupational therapy assessments to clear a backlog, with assessments likely to result in referrals for Disabled Facilities Grants.

This award demonstrates demand from Cornwall Council for specialist occupational therapy assessment capacity tied to Disabled Facilities Grant referrals. Suppliers competing for a similar requirement would need to show they can deliver occupational therapy assessments at scale, manage a backlog and make sound recommendations about whether cases should proceed to a grant referral. The selected supplier is an occupational therapy practice, indicating that a provider with relevant clinical assessment capability and experience of housing adaptation needs is well aligned with the work. Credible competitors would also need enough suitably qualified occupational therapists and operational capacity to handle a sustained caseload across the council’s service area. The work is assessment-led: contractors focused solely on carrying out property adaptations would not match the stated requirement.
