Overview
Summary, notice description and lot information
Nottingham City Council has completed the procurement process titled "CPU4266 - Accreditation List for the Provision of Family Support and Short Breaks - Round 1 Only". This tender falls under the industry category of daycare services, specifically for children and young people, and encompasses regions in and around Nottingham, particularly the East Midlands (UKF1). The process included the award and contract stage, with significant activity taking place in early 2025 following the tender initiation on 6th December 2024.
The contracts, signed on 24th March 2025, include various lots providing community-based group and individual activities, as well as home-based support. The accreditation list spans a five-year duration with potential extensions up to two more periods of two years each. This tender opens substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in childcare and support services, particularly those experienced in delivering community and home-based care for disabled children and young adults.
SMEs, especially local providers skilled in managing short breaks and respite care, are likely to benefit from the call-off process associated with this agreement. The procurement method adopted was open procedure, encouraging wide participation and transparent competition. Successful applicants include a mix of local and regional organisations such as ARDOUR HEALTHCARE SERVICES LTD, Fastline Healthcare Ltd, Gecko Care Ltd., and Pulp Friction.
Businesses with expertise in providing quality daycare services tailored to an array of individual needs will find this contract conducive for growth and collaboration with Nottingham City Council.
Accreditation List will consist of three lots:
- Lot 1: Community Short Breaks, which includes o Lot 1a: Community Based Group Activity o Lot 1b: Community Based Individual Activity
- Lot 2: Home Based Day, Evening and/or Overnight Support
Community-based group activity for Children / Young People aged anywhere between 0-18th birthday (Applicant to state age range catered for) including daytime, school holiday only, after school/evening and weekend activities. (If providing activities of more than two hours a week to children under 8, this must be registered with OFSTED)
1:1 day or evening community-based activity for Children / Young People aged 0-18th birthday, which can include accessing evening activities such as youth groups, weekend activities and school holiday clubs as well as 'buddying' and support of Children / Young People's interests
For Children / Young People up to their 18th birthday (which requires registration with Care Quality Commission). For avoidance of doubt this is a short break offer that provides respite to the parent/carer and not traditional homecare. As such this will not be commissioned solely to provide personal care or take a child to school. The emphasis of this support is on respite and positive activities to promote outcomes for children and young people. Staff are expected to be skilled and to have experience in line with the short breaks' agenda.
