The purpose of this engagement is to share with you our draft specification and ask you to comment on our requirements. Any information a provider shares could be used to assist drafting the final specification. Following this consultation process, PCC will consider the appropriate route for this service. THE DEADLINE FOR THIS CONSULTATION HAS BEEN EXTENDED UNTIL 8TH APRIL AT MIDDAY. The employment support service for Autistic Adults (18+) will be provided on a one-to-one basis. The overarching aim of this service is to provide a flexible and responsive approach to give autistic people the opportunity to participate in all forms of work, whenever possible in paid or self-employment, and to make a valued contribution to their community. The objective of this service is to support between 10-20 autistic people into work at any one time, providing employability and cognitive profiles, sustaining employment whilst at work through regular support, advice and advocacy where required. The value of this contract will be approximately £50,000 and it is estimated to cover a 12-month period from commencement of the contract. It is the anticipation that this contract would be extended should the outcomes for the autistic people supported during the initial pilot be met satisfactorily but is subject to further funding confirmation.
