Autism Parental Training in Cheshire West

In Cheshire West, NHS Cheshire and Merseyside Integrated Care Board (ICB) is overseeing a procurement process for Autism Parental Training services. This initiative focuses on delivering training to parents and carers of children and young people with Autism, both through face-to-face and remote sessions. The procurement falls under the health services industry category and is conducted within the UK region UKD63.

The current stage of the process is the intention to award, as outlined by the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) Regulations 2023, which does not necessitate a public call for competition. The contract, valued at £76,000 annually, is intended to be awarded to the existing provider, Cheshire Autism Practical Support, starting from 1st April 2024 and expiring on 31st March 2025. This tender presents significant opportunities for growth for businesses specialising in health services, particularly those with expertise in autism support and training.

Businesses that have a strong background in delivering social value, improving access, reducing health inequalities, and fostering service integration are well-suited to this opportunity. Although there is an intention to continue with the incumbent provider, businesses interested in future opportunities should focus on building partnerships and demonstrating innovation in service delivery to be well-positioned for similar opportunities in the region and beyond. Engaging actively during the standstill period and maintaining communication with the decision makers could result in further business prospects.
