Summary of the contracting process

Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council is commissioning short-break services for children and young people with disabilities and their families. The procurement covers health and social work services across Redcar and Cleveland. It is divided into four areas: clubs in local accessible venues, including after-school, weekend and holiday clubs; personalised individual support, usually delivered on a one-to-one basis or higher, in the family home or community; overnight support away from home in a registered venue or home; and other specialist community or outreach short-break services. Providers may offer services that meet the needs of children and young people and their families through one or more of these areas. The opportunity concerns a framework for arranging these services.

The procurement has reached tender: the council invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submissions required via Open. It is a framework re-opening, with the final opportunity to submit a tender closing on 30 September 2026 at 23:59. The framework runs from 1 April 2024 to 31 March 2028, and the lots each have a stated 1,440-day contract period. The estimated total value is £3.6 million. The current opening is the final opportunity to join the framework; submissions are evaluated at the scheduled framework openings. Bids must be in English and remain valid for 120 days. Variants are allowed for each lot, and the award period and bid opening are set for 30 September 2026 at 23:59.

This opportunity suits providers of disability, children’s social care, family support, respite and community services. Relevant capability includes designing and delivering accessible clubs, providing personalised one-to-one support or higher levels of support, delivering care or support in family homes and community settings, and providing overnight short breaks in a registered venue or home. Community and outreach organisations with specialist short-break provision may fit the fourth area where their service does not fall within individual or overnight support. Providers should be able to deliver services for children and young people with disabilities and work with their families. Organisations with capacity to operate across local venues, homes or community settings may be well placed, depending on the service area offered.
