UL0687 - Provision of Occupational Therapy services to Disability Support Services of the University of Limerick

Disability Services at the University of Limerick is inviting tenders from occupational therapy (OT) providers for the provision of OT services to UL students with disability on a contract for services basis. The intention is for UL to appoint a sole OT provider to supply the services required and the appointed provider will then be required to subcontract suitably qualified subcontractors to deliver any aspect of the services which it cannot itself deliver directly. Disability Services at the University of Limerick provides a range of educational, technological, personal and social supports to students with disability and is now seeking to further tailor these supports for specific cohorts of students registered with the service. The service is keen to further embed strategies and resources within the existing support structure to enhance the learning experience for students who may have specific difficulty in a third-level learning environment. The service will embed an OT-based service within the existing support framework, led by the Student Support Officer. Oversight of all services provided to students by UL Disability Services rests with the Head of Disability Services. The service is initially required for one academic year (September 2021 – May 2022). The service will be reviewed and evaluated to determine whether future extension of contract for services will be required. The initial service provision will be required to develop the resources and to strengthen the capacity of the Disability Services to support the increasing number of students with disability. The OT service will support students within the existing support framework managed by the Student Support Officer. Disability Services will identify the students needing support and will work closely with the OT and the students to deliver the OT service within the Disability services support framework. The service will be delivered on campus and/or remotely as necessary.
