Description
Leicester City Council is commissioning the provision of Occupational Therapy Trusted Assessor Learning and Development training.
Leicester City Council is seeking a provider to develop and deliver face to face Trusted Assessor training to staff working across the Adult Social Care and Safeguarding Division. The training will support staff who are not part of the Occupational Therapy Service to identify when equipment or minor adaptations can help someone to live safely and well in their own home, without requiring specialist Occupational Therapist skills.
The training will focus on understanding the built environment of people’s homes in Leicester in relation to adaptations and provision of equipment, including how to arrange a prescribed list of equipment and small modifications via a contractor. The provider will deliver 11 full days of face to face training for approximately 150 to 155 staff between May 26th 2026 and September 25th 2026, using local venues arranged by the Council. The provider will develop training resources, ensure trainers are appropriately qualified and understand local need, and ensure the training is culturally appropriate and reflects the diverse communities in Leicester.
The proposed Contract will commence on 26 May 2026 and expire on 25 September 2026. The contract period will be four months. There is no option to extend. The estimated contract value is £60,000.
