Speech & Language Therapy- Market Engagement Event

The London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham, the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea and Westminster City Council, together with Hammersmith and Fulham CCG, West London CCG and Central London CCG are looking to commission a ‘whole system’, outcome focused Speech and Language service(s) for pre-school, school aged children and up to 25 years of those with Education, Health and Care Plans.

Key elements of the services will be delivery across early years; primary, secondary and special school education – including special educational needs; and health. The annual contract value is anticipated to be in the region of £5 million, with a potential contract duration of three years, with the option for one contract extension.

Following on from the early engagement advert (published on 15th July 2015) that sought early expressions of interest in relation to these services, a market engagement event will be held on Tuesday 15th September.

The aim of the event will be to engage with potential providers for these services in order to share the commissioning intentions of the Contracting Authorities, and to seek the input from providers on a number important aspects relating to the services, including the service specification.

The event will be held 12pm - 3pm on Tuesday 15th September 2015 at a venue close to Marylebone High Street within the NW1 area of London. Exact venue details to be confirmed and supplied on application.
