The existing provider is satisfying the original contract and are likely to satisfy the proposed contract to a sufficient standard taking into account the key criteria as follows:
(a)	Quality and innovation.
The existing provider has demonstrated innovation through implementing the balanced system approach to build knowledge, understanding and the capacity of schools in meeting the needs of CYP with speech, language and communication difficulties and sensory issues, alongside offering early advice and guidance to parents and carers. The provider has also demonstrated a willingness to undertake change and transformation, working with Birmingham City Council to implement large scale transformation that ushers in innovative practice that will generate gains for this service in the long term.
Feedback from education colleagues and families have positively rated the quality of advice and support given.
(b)	Value. The service has been designed to ensure value by employing staff at appropriate grades, striking a balance between cost efficiency and the expertise required to deliver high-quality support. This strategic allocation of resources enables the service to meet growing demand effectively while maintaining financial sustainability. Wider organisational transformation currently taking place at Birmingham Community Health Care Trust ensures the delivery of good services at good value, achieving efficiencies through a combination of workforce integration, service consolidation and digital innovation. Additionally, while increase in demand for the service has resulted in increases in budget contributions from both Birmingham City Council and the Birmingham Integrated Care Board over the past four years, the service continues to deliver excellent value against demographic growth projections and inflationary pressures.
(c)	Integration, collaboration and service sustainability.
The transformation of SaLT and OT services for children began in 2020 with the implementation of a national evidence-based framework known as The Balanced System. This model provides support for children and young people across all age groups at universal, targeted, and specialist levels. The existing agreement, along with the proposed contract, integrates the role of Locality SaLT and OT practitioners as part of the universal support available to families, schools, and settings and integrates service provision across health, social care and education partners in the city. This approach enhances the capacity of the existing infrastructure, ensuring a more cohesive and effective delivery of services. Birmingham Community Health Care Trust is uniquely positioned to deliver this service in all school settings at the scale required, allowing for additional economies of scale benefits and opportunities for system wide collaboration.
(d)	Improving access. The Balanced System approach allocates resources based on an analysis of population needs, ensuring that support is targeted where it is most required. This contract would enable an increase in the number of pupils receiving support within educational settings, as well as the number of parents accessing timely advice and assistance. By working in this way, schools are better equipped to identify needs and implement appropriate provisions, thereby improving access to learning and supporting better outcomes for children and young people. By providing a consistent standard of service across all schools in the city, Birmingham Community Health Care Trust delivers on the locality-based model of provision, prioritising right support at the right place and right time with improved access to provision which meets the needs of the families, children and young people in line with the Children and Families Act 2014 and SEND Code of Practice.
(e)	Social value.
The service provides additional social value by addressing the resource market gap, attracting and upskilling local talent to bridge the current demand for SaLT and OT professionals in the city. It complements Birmingham's education offer by enhancing support in schools, enabling better identification and provision for children with additional needs. Additionally, the service strengthens the family-based support model, which is largely recognised as a best practice sector wide.
Social value commitments will be obtained from the provider. These will form part of the new contract and will be monitored throughout the contract duration.

description: The contract is awarded to an initial term of 36 months with the option to extend by a further 12 months.

description: This procurement fulfils SCC's statutory requirement to serve notice to Staffordshire residents regarding upcoming disruption to local roads.

description:
The requirement is for a broad range of services in terms of public notices advertising. Several approaches may be required in order to publish statutory notices.
This may include, but is not limited to:
- Printed press (local/regional newspapers)
- Digital Media; and
- Any other media channel as specified by the Customer.
All methods must be compliant with the relevant legislation. Service Providers should also be able to adapt to new innovative methods, in the event that these become available.
Service Providers should be able to deliver the following services:
- Media planning and buying
- Production (including proof reading, copy editing, copywriting and typesetting)
- Advice provision on media topics (such as advertising strategies, search engine optimisation and web-based services, etc.)
- Provision of suitable electronic systems to assist in the management of the Council's advertising requirements (e.g. by allowing the Council to keep track or orders and to transmit, receive and edit copy via secure connection)

description: Advertising management services

procurementMethodRationale: The required lot in LGRP Framework has two suppliers awarded to it. As the statutory requirements are strict regarding when and where etc the notices required advertising, there was little to no additional value to be achieved. The call-off contract is awarded solely on price and the selected supplier was the cheapest for the required service.
