For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 do not apply to this award.  The publication of this notice marks the start of the standstill period. Representations by providers must be submitted to the relevant authority via the project (Atamis reference no. C292959) at: \nhttps://healthfamily.force.com/s/Welcome \nby midnight (23:59) on 31/07/24.

It works seamlessly with other key providers including Education, Paediatrics, CAMHS, and Children\u0027s Social Care.  The service will be fully integrated with all stages of the neurodevelopmental and neuro-disability pathways. Its success will be in contributing to timely and streamlined assessment and management to improve children\u0027s outcomes. Removing inefficiencies and duplication, promoting equality of access according to need, improving quality standards and increasing value for money are all values of the service. \nThe Children\u0027s Integrated Therapy and Equipment Service\u0027s overarching aim is that all children and young people known to the service achieve their best possible developmental potential and physical and emotional health and well-being both in childhood and through transition into adulthood. \nThe Children\u0027s Integrated Therapy and Equipment Service will provide equipment on loan to disabled children and young people living in East Sussex enabling them to do tasks they would otherwise be unable to do, to enable access to education, or to provide support to a Carer to enable ongoing care in their home.\nThe Children\u0027s Integrated Therapy and Equipment Service will work closely with health providers and the wider Local Authority to deliver services in line with National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE), National Confidential Enquiry into Patient Outcome and Death (NCEPOD), and other relevant national guidance. The service is a significant provider alongside other services for children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) and is required to contribute to the way of working outlined in the SEND Reforms of the Children and Families Act 2014.",
