Children’s Speech and Language – Market Engagement December 2021

Cheshire West and Chester Council and Cheshire Clinical Commissioning Group are re-commissioning Children’s Speech and Language Therapy Services in December 2021 ready for a contract start date of July 2022. The new service will deliver a consistent, high quality, evidence-based, innovative service across the borough of Cheshire West in order to meet the needs of children, young people and their families. The service will work proactively and collaboratively with parents, carers, schools and settings, so that children can be identified and supported as early as possible, recognising that children’s outcomes can’t improve without partnership working at home, school and early years settings. The service will triage, assess and treat children and young people referred into the service according to clinical pathways, tracking and monitoring progress using Therapy Outcome Measures.

We would like to hear from all providers who would be interested in tendering for the service. Please complete the survey: https://www.smartsurvey.co.uk/s/marketengagementSALTOct21/

Potential bidders may then be shortlisted to meet with Commissioners to engage in further market engagement meetings.  Please note that this is not a tender.  The tender will be advertised on the Chest and bidders would still need to apply.
