Overview
Summary, notice description and lot information
The procurement process initiated by Tower Hamlets focuses on the recommissioning of the 'Short Breaks - Holiday and Weekend Short Breaks' service for disabled children, classified under social services (CPV 85320000). The procurement spans three contracts or 'Lots', each targeting unique needs including autistic spectrum disorder and complex medical requirements. The procurement was executed via an open procedure, with the awarding stage now complete as of April 2025.
Each lot was awarded to The Tower Project, with contracts being signed on 1st December 2023. The services are situated in the UKI region, specifically Greater London, and the contracts carry significant financial allocations totalling over GBP 1.9 million. This tender creates substantial opportunities for businesses involved in social services, particularly those with expertise in providing support to disabled children.
Organisations specialising in care provision for young people with complex needs, autistic spectrum disorders, and severe learning disabilities can potentially expand their service portfolios through collaboration with regional authorities like Tower Hamlets. The procurement entails a significant scope of operations and resources to meet the diverse needs of referred families, paving the way for business growth and innovation in offering inclusive community services.
We are seeking the recommissioning of the Short Breaks (Holiday and Weekend) service for disabled children which are delivered as three separate contracts (Lots). The short breaks holiday scheme contract is a mandated/ statutory service that enables and supports children and young people with disabilities to access activities that are often open to non-disabled children, so that they can enjoy an ordinary life. It also offers parents and carers a much-needed break from their caring responsibilities.
The schemes are primarily for families with the highest level of need, who will be referred to one of the services depending on their requirements. In practice, young people will attend one of the service provisions at varying times throughout the year, allowing more families to access the support available.
