The opportunity is now closed. Welsh Government were seeking to appoint an appropriately qualified contractor to carry out a two phase contract for the Evaluation of the Code of Practice on the Delivery of Autism Services in Wales. In summary and as background, the Code of Practice was published under the Social Services and Well-being Wales Act 2014 and the NHS (Wales) Act 2006. The code places expectations on services to deliver timely and high-quality services which meet the needs of autistic people and their families. The review required will look at the progress the code has made since it's implementation in September 2021. The Code itself provides clarity to local health boards, NHS trusts, local authorities and Regional Partnership Boards and the responsibilities and services they are required to provide to support autistic people in their day to day lives. The work that will be delivered through this contract will involve two stages: the first stage focusing on the progress the code has made on the delivery of Autism services so far since its implementation and developing recommendations for improvements. The second stage will further review the progress of the code and whether the recommendations from stage one have been addressed. The first stage will be for an initial 8 month period with the second stage beginning in June 2024, completing by March 2025. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Sell2Wales | | Latest notice | https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/search/search_switch.aspx?ID=125338 | | Notice type | S2W Notice - Website Contract Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 22 Dec 2022 | | Submission deadline | 2 Nov 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 19 Dec 2022 | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Not specified | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | WELSH GOVERNMENT | | Locality | CARDIFF | | Post town | Cardiff | | Postcode | CF10 3NQ | | Country | Wales | | ITL 1 | TLL Wales | | ITL 2 | TLL5 South East Wales | | ITL 3 | TLL52 Cardiff and Vale of Glamorgan | | Local authority | Cardiff | | Electoral ward | Cathays | | Westminster constituency | Cardiff South and Penarth | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | PEOPLE AND WORK | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 73110000 - Research services - 79313000 - Performance review services - 79315000 - Social research services - 79419000 - Evaluation consultancy services ## Release History - 22 Dec 2022 at 12:02 - Award - S2W Notice - Website Contract Award Notice - https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/search/search_switch.aspx?ID=125338 - 5 Oct 2022 at 12:21 - Tender - S2W Notice - Website Invitation to Tender Notice - https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/search/search_switch.aspx?ID=125338 ## Notice URLs - http:// - http://www.gov.wales - https://etenderwales.bravosolution.co.uk/home.html ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
