Havering Short Breaks Provider Framework - Market Engagement

The London Borough of Havering is in the planning stage for the "Havering Short Breaks Provider Framework," focusing on Health and Social Work Services. This public procurement process seeks to establish a framework agreement to deliver Short Breaks services for children with disabilities in Havering. A market engagement event is scheduled for 27 November 2025 at 10:00 am via Microsoft Teams, aimed at gathering information on the needs of these children and discussing the proposed framework.

Interested parties should note that further expressions of interest should be submitted by 5 December 2025. The framework is set to commence on 1 October 2026 and run through to 30 September 2029, with a possibility of renewal up to 2031. This tender offers significant growth opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), as well as voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), particularly those passionate about providing inclusive support to disabled children and young people.

Organisations involved in creative, personal development, and community-based activities such as arts, sports, and life skills training are especially well-suited to participate. With a focus on delivering targeted and specialist support, the framework encourages a wide range of providers to engage and contribute to enhancing the quality of life for the children and families in Havering, thereby enabling business growth through social impact.
