Short Breaks for Children and Young People with Disabilities and their Families (Re-opening)

Redcar & Cleveland Borough Council is seeking tenders for the "Short Breaks for Children and Young People with Disabilities and their Families (Re-opening)" located in the North East, United Kingdom. This involves a framework for services split into four lots: Clubs, Individual Support Services, Overnight Support Away from Home, and Services in the Community. The framework runs from 1 April 2024 to 31 March 2028, with the procurement currently at the tender stage.

Submissions will be evaluated every six months throughout the contract term, with the current tender period ending on 30 September 2025. The procurement method is an open procedure, suitable for SMEs and VCSEs, falling under the Health and Social Work Services industry category (CPV 85000000). This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in health and social care services, particularly those skilled in supporting children and young people with disabilities.

The continuous re-opening aspect of the framework means that businesses have multiple opportunities to submit their proposals, enhancing their chances of securing contracts. Small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly encouraged to apply, given the suitability requirements. This project not only allows businesses to grow their portfolios and gain valuable experience but also provides a significant opportunity to make a meaningful impact on the lives of families requiring support in the community.
