Overview
Summary, notice description and lot information
The public procurement process for the Education Inclusion Speech and Language Therapy (SALT) service, led by Bath and North East Somerset Council, falls under the health and social work services industry category. This service aims to enhance the capabilities of education professionals in handling speech, language, and communication needs. The contract, awarded under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) using a direct award process, spans from 1 May 2025 to 31 August 2029, with a contract value of £780,292.
The procurement stage noted in the document is a tender update, indicating that the contract has already been formally awarded to HCRG Care Services Ltd. The procurement was executed without a prior call for competition, focusing on supporting the inclusion agenda in educational settings within the UKK1 region. This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses in the speech and language therapy domain, particularly those that can deliver innovative, high-quality services with a focus on early intervention and preventative support. Companies with robust staff structures, capable of maintaining services amidst operational disruptions, and those adept at training and collaborating with local education and health services, would find this opportunity conducive to business growth.
Moreover, organisations that align with the established criteria such as social value, improving access, and reducing health inequalities will be well-positioned to engage effectively and meet the demands of this contract.
The primary aim of the Education Inclusion Speech and Language Therapy Service is to upskill education professionals to provide early intervention and preventative support so that all settings are able to deliver the inclusion agenda. In order to achieve this aim, the service will need to raise the levels of awareness and skills of our education colleagues in recognising and supporting speech, language and communication needs and families/carers will need to be confident that their children will have their needs met in their local setting. The service will provide information, training, advice and support to educational settings, families and other professionals.
It will also provide some face to face, intervention at the targeted and specialist levels with individual children/young people and their families and will be committed to joint working with other agencies, such as Health and the SEND & AP Advice Service, to deliver the right support at the right time.
