Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process titled "PEP/CYP/Short Breaks for Disabled Children Recommission 2025" was conducted by Bristol City Council, a regional authority based in Bristol, UK. This procurement falls under the Health and Social Work Services category, specifically targeting services for disabled children and young people. The process involved three lots covering holidays, evenings, weekends, and specialised services like the Bristol Autism Project and complex high needs. The tendering procedure was managed using an open procedure and involved multiple stages from planning, tender, to awarding contracts on 4th February 2025. The procurement stage is now complete, with successful contracts awarded to providers such as WECIL Ltd and the Foundation for Active Community Engagement.

This procurement offers substantial opportunities for businesses in the health and social services sector, particularly those specializing in services for disabled children. Agencies that provide short break services, holiday camps, evening and weekend activities, and specialised autistic services will find this tender an excellent fit. The contracts, which are initially set for three years with the possibility of extension, promise sustainable growth and the potential for long-term partnerships. Companies with experience in delivering social value and high-quality care, as well as those equipped to handle complex needs, will be well-positioned to compete and benefit from these opportunities.
