Additional Short Breaks Service for Adults with Learning Disabilites

The Council of the City of Wakefield is in the planning stage of a procurement process titled "Additional Short Breaks Service for Adults with Learning Disabilities". Classified under the health and social work services industry category, the project aims to engage providers for services within the Wakefield region, United Kingdom (UKE45). A market engagement notice has been published to gather insights from potential suppliers, with a deadline for responses set for 23 July 2025.

The engagement is facilitated through the YORtender system. The planning for the contract period is from 1 February 2029 to 31 January 2034. This procurement opportunity is particularly suitable for organisations specialising in health and social work services, especially those with experience in providing services for adults with learning disabilities.

As the council seeks to understand the market better and enhance its service offerings through additional short breaks, businesses with innovative service delivery models stand to gain substantially. Participation in this market engagement process allows businesses to align with the Council’s objectives and potentially benefit from long-term contractual arrangements. Interested parties with the requisite expertise and operational capacity should consider this opportunity to expand their presence within the public sector.
