Occupational Therapy (OT) Services Soft Market Test

Cambridgeshire County Council is conducting a soft market testing exercise in relation to Occupational Therapy Services for children and young people. We would like to understand the current Children's Occupational Therapy landscape and gather insights from experienced organisations. Providers interested in contributing insights to this topic are welcome to respond to this questionnaire.

The current service encompasses universal, targeted, and specialist support services and is delivered to meet the requirements of the Children's Act (2004). Insights gained from this exercise will aid us in effectively addressing the occupational therapy requirements of children and young people in the future, both within the homes and at school, especially those with special educational needs.

Over recent years, the Children's Occupational Therapy Services spend for Cambridgeshire has averaged approximately £750k annually.

Additional information: If you are open to discussing any aspects of this further, Cambridgeshire County Council Children's Commissioning Team would welcome the opportunity to have a conversation with you. Please feel free to reach out to us to schedule a meeting at your convenience. You can contact us at childrenscommissioningteam@cambridgeshire.gov.uk.
