Description
This is a prior information notice providing advanced notice of an upcoming procurement opportunity.
NHS South East London CCG (Bromley borough) is seeking to commission a provider of Special Educational Needs and Disabilities Occupational Therapy (SEND OT) services. The service will provide SEND OT provision in Section F of an EHCP occupational therapy treatment/provision to help children and young people (aged 0-25 years) that experience difficulties carrying out everyday occupations. The provider will provide the borough with extra capacity of SEND OT provision that is outlined in Section F of the EHC Plan, annual reviews, critiquing reports, tribunals, and mediation.
The successful provider will work in collaboration with the current core Occupational Therapy provider (Bromley Healthcare) (who will continue to provide Occupational Therapy advice and recommendations for Education, Health and Care needs assessments for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities) and the London Borough of Bromley SEND Service.
The occupational therapy service will be provided within identified Bromley Schools and Settings (and at a child's home setting where appropriate) to meet the needs of children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities.
It is expected that the contract will start on 1st February 2022 and run for a period of two months until 31 March 2022 with a total value for £70,000 (Ex VAT). Given the short-term nature of this contract, there will be a review process which may lead to award of extension to the term of the contract. This will be dependent on local need and performance. Further details will be set out in the subsequent contract opportunity notice and accompanying procurement documentation.
The CCG is scheduled to publish the procurement opportunity via Contracts Finder on 15th December 2021.
Interested providers should monitor the Contracts Finder site for the upcoming advertisement which will provide instructions on how to access the tender portal to express an interest in the opportunity, access the tender documentation and submit a bid.
