Issue details

Award of contract for the provision of Joint Children's Speech and Language Therapy and Occupational Therapy Service following a competitive tender process.

The Council intends to invite tenders for the provision of Paediatric Therapies to improve outcomes for children and young people aged 0- 25 with Speech, Language and Communication Needs (SLCN) and Occupational Therapy (OT) needs in Croydon. 

 

The focus of the procurement is to improve education outcomes for those children and young people whose learning and educational outcomes are impacted by speech, language, and occupational therapy needs. As a result of this recommissioning exercise, Croydon’s schools will be able to access more timely interventions for pupils requiring speech and language therapy and occupational therapy support to achieve improved educational outcomes.

 

Following tender evaluations, CCB approval will be sought to award contracts to the successful providers.
