CCS028 Therapeutic Assessment to Support Education and Health Care Plan Delivery

Kort beskrivning

Derbyshire County Council, Derby City Council, Nottinghamshire County Council and Nottingham City Council (D2N2) form a regional cluster in which we aim to collaborate to deliver better outcomes for children.

Within this cluster, it has become evident that there is a need for further support from external providers to ensure effective, timely and valuable delivery of assessments to support Education and Health Care Plan (EHCP) delivery for our Children, who require this support.

To facilitate more cohesive and efficient delivery of therapeutic assessments which support EHCP delivery and to ensure better outcomes for children whose educational needs are the responsibility of the D2N2 Councils are publishing an opportunity for providers to join a framework.

The services to be provided through this framework have been split into 4 lots:

a) Lot 1: Educational Psychology

b) Lot 2: Speech and Language Therapy

c) Lot 3: Occupational Therapy and Sensory Therapy

d) Lot 4: Physiotherapy

Providers can tender for one or multiple lots, assessment and/or delivery, and do not need to to deliver their services to all areas covered by the D2N2 Framework.

The framework will be procured under the "Light Touch Regime" for Social and Other Specific Services, and the Councils anticipate that framework will be reopened periodically to new applicants.
