Brief

Milton Keynes City Council is conducting a market engagement exercise to inform the commissioning strategy for Educational Psychologists (EPs), Speech and Language Therapy (SALT), and Occupational Therapy (OT) services. These services will support the 'Experts at Hand' programme, a Department for Education initiative launching in September 2026. The programme aims to deploy health and education specialists into mainstream schools and early years settings to help identify children's needs earlier and provide targeted, time-limited interventions that promote inclusive practices. Interested providers should respond to the published questions in the market engagement document via the In-Tend e-tendering portal by 5pm on 31st August 2024. Access the full Market Engagement document at: https://in-tendhost.co.uk/milton-keynes/aspx/Home. This exercise will shape the future delivery model for these specialist services within Milton Keynes.
