CS0422FOP Framework of Providers - Specialist Services for Disabled Children Young People and their Families

Derbyshire County Council has completed the tender process for a framework to provide specialist services for disabled children, young people (aged 0-25), and their families. The framework, titled "CS0422FOP Framework of Providers - Specialist Services for Disabled Children Young People and their Families," includes five lots: one-to-one support, overnight short breaks (standard and complex), group activities, home care services, and support planning & brokerage. This procurement falls under the health and social work services category (CPV 85000000) and utilises an open procedure.

The contract period starts on 15 January 2025 and ends on 30 April 2026, serving various regions across the United Kingdom including the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East, and South West. The total contract value is £4,160,000. The awarded contract was published on 16 April 2025, with work starting on 26 March 2025.

This framework presents significant opportunities for business growth, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) that specialise in health and social care services. The framework's structure into multiple lots allows businesses of various sizes to compete and participate, potentially increasing their market presence and revenue. Companies offering one-to-one support, short breaks, group activities, home care services, and support planning stand to benefit significantly by securing a place within this extensive and diverse framework.

The inclusion of Derby City Council as a user further broadens the market reach, offering participating businesses exposure to a wider array of clients.
