Summary of the contracting process

Bath & North East Somerset Council has successfully completed the procurement process for the provision of day, evening, weekend, and school holiday services for children and young people (CYP) with disabilities, through its Disabled Children's Team. The procurement was conducted using an open procedure under the light touch regime, with a focus on health and social work services. WECIL LTD was awarded the contract, valued at £1,112,384.52, to support up to 35 families, enabling disabled children and young people to enjoy new social experiences. The contract starts on 1 April 2026 and could extend up to 2033, with optional renewals. Key details include the procurement category, location in Bath, UKK12 region, and significant deadlines, notably the tender notice published on 8 July 2025 and the award signed on 11 December 2025.

This tender represents a substantial opportunity for businesses specialising in healthcare and social services, particularly those adept in working with children having special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). Firms like WECIL LTD, which focus on developmental support and possess expertise in staffing for disability care, would find this tender well-suited. With the provision designed to bolster workforce training and support, companies can leverage this opportunity to expand their market presence and foster growth by delivering specialised services to a niche market. Businesses that value collaboration with local authorities and can innovate in providing enriching experiences for disabled youth would benefit significantly from engaging in similar procurement processes.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Day, Evening, Weekend and School Holiday provision for CYP accessing Services in the Disabled Children's Team

Notice Description

The Disabled Childrens Team (DCT) works with children and young people who have diagnosed disabilities or health conditions which have a significant impact on their day to day lives from birth through to 18 years old when they transition to Adult Services. The Council would like to commission a new service to support individual CYP that access DCT. The aim of this provision is to ensure that disabled children and young people have access to social experiences and interactions at home and within the local community. Families are also provided with a break from their caring responsibilities. The purpose of this service is to provide an opportunity for children / young people with a disability or additional need to spend time away from their primary carers, exploring a range of new opportunities that are enjoyable to them. For example, disabled children and young people experience new relationships, environments and participate in positive activities. The ethos of this service is to match carers with individual CYP and their families with the view that over time, working relationships between the parties strengthen. The care for the child is consistent and outcomes within the CYP care plan can be achieved together. This service will offer specialist care when required; staff will be sufficiently trained with expertise/experience in working with disabled children and young people with SEND, some of whom may have multiple complex needs. The service has been designed so that the provider can train and support a growing workforce of care workers. Once fully operational, the service will be open to up to 35 families and will take place in the local community or in the family home.
