[More contracts for small businesses and VCSEs](https://tendernation.io/opportunities/for-small-businesses) ## About this tender Buckinghamshire Council (BC) is seeking to create an approved provider list (TAPL) of suitably qualified physiotherapists (PT), occupational therapists (OT) and speech and language therapists (SaLT) to Buckinghamshire children who have an Educational Health Care Plan (EHCP). Therapists appointed on this List MUST have current HCPC registration. The Therapies Approved Provider List (TAPL) will be Buckinghamshire Council's main route for sourcing spot therapy provision of SaLT, OT and PT. Providers who have signed up to the APL will, as required, provide support to Buckinghamshire children and young people, aged 0-25 who have an EHCP with a therapy need identified in Appendix F and attend an educational setting not covered by the CYP Integrated Therapies contract. Therapists delivering services on behalf of BC must be able to provide services that are responsive to the needs of the child with whom they are supporting. The APL will be open for new applications from the date of publication of the documents and will remain open for new applications from therapists at any time during the APL term. A 'due diligence' process will be applied to all applicants applying to join the list which includes confirmation of registration and insurances, an appropriately robust financial status, and appropriate safeguarding measures are in place e.g. DBS validation. This is not a competitive tender process. Therapists wishing to apply to deliver services are requested to register on the Council's portal [supplybucksbusiness.org.uk](https://www.supplybucksbusiness.org.uk), express and interest in this procurement, download and return completed in full the relevant documentation (specifications, contract terms and conditions and application form) which is available for download. The Therapies APL will open for entry from 4th April 2024 and will remain open to new applications until 31 March 2025 with the option to be extended for up to 12 months. TAPL is considered a "light touch" procurement. The anticipated value of all works under this APL is £328,000 for the initial term of one year. Entry to the list will be reviewed annually, individual contract details such as length and value will be variable depending on services provided but benchmarking will be carried out. The Service aims to process applicants to the TAPL in a timely manner and hopes to achieve this within 10 working days subject to a complete and comprehensive response from Providers. Successful applicants will be required to sign a Contract prior to any work being carried out.
