Summary of the contracting process

Sheffield City Council recently completed the procurement process for a framework titled "Short Breaks for Disabled Children," focusing on daycare services for disabled children and young people in Sheffield. This initiative covers services such as daytime short breaks, outward bounds, and activity-based residential experiences through three distinct lots. The procurement, conducted via an open procedure with a budget of £7,428,000, involved an award phase on 26 June 2025. This framework is designed as a pseudo-framework, allowing Sheffield City Council the flexibility to readvertise to meet changing demands. The authority had given an initial tender submission deadline of 31 January 2025.

Businesses specialising in daycare, social work, and recreational services, especially those equipped to cater to children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), can find this framework a profitable opportunity. With multiple active suppliers already involved, including organisations like Amys House, Element Society, and Sheffield Mencap and Gateway, businesses with experience in handling club sessions, activity-based programs, and residential camp facilities would be ideal candidates. This procurement not only provides a significant contract value but also the opportunity for businesses to establish a long-term relationship with a regional authority, promoting social inclusion through tailored services in the Sheffield area.
