Autism Peer Education (previously known as Autism Central)

Description

NHS England is looking to appoint a provider for a Autism Peer Education programme. This is a LTR Open procurement which will begin 1st October 2025 and end 30th September 2028 with 1+1 years optional extensions. NHS England recognises that families, carers and personal assistants of autistic people are a valuable and vital part of providing the support that autistic people need. Families, carers and personal assistants benefit from accessing high quality education and training to enable them to support and maintain the wellbeing of their family member(s). In co-production with peer educators and subject matter experts, the work delivered so far by Autism Central offers locally accessible education and training for families, carers and personal assistants across all English regions. A PIN and RFI were issued in November 2024 to promote collaboration across SMEs and raise awareness of the upcoming tender.
