The contract was awarded to the organisation "Action for Children" on 20th November 2025. This procurement aims to provide short breaks for children and young people with disabilities throughout Shropshire, excluding the Borough of Telford & Wrekin.

The total contract value is approximately £2.75 million.

This tender offers substantial growth opportunities for businesses in the service sector, particularly those experienced in social care services. Companies focused on delivering social value and quality in service provision would find this contract particularly beneficial given the weighting of 80% allocated to quality and social value considerations. While the tender is awarded, organisations keen on similar opportunities should focus on enhancing their service delivery capacities in community-based programmes, especially those facilitating activities for children and young people with disabilities. Small and medium-sized enterprises, as well as voluntary community and social enterprises, were considered suitable for this procurement, showcasing Shropshire Council's commitment to inclusive community service development.
