UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council has completed the procurement process for providing Community Short Breaks aimed at children and young people with disabilities in the UKG36 region. The contract, awarded on 17th March 2026 and commencing on 1st May 2026, is slated to run till 30th April 2027. The procurement method employed was an open competition, specifically below the threshold to invite wide participation. Intended to meet the specific needs of children with disabilities, the service includes play schemes and various activities, classified under Health and Social Work services. The Council had set a procurement value of £110,000 and engaged Pilot IMS as the service provider, who showcased their expertise and commitment to quality service delivery.

The Community Short Breaks contract presents significant opportunities for businesses operating in the health and social work services category, particularly those focusing on tailored programmes for children with disabilities. Businesses with a large-scale capacity and expertise in organising community activities or who hold a specific focus on disability services stand to benefit from such procurement initiatives. As the competitive procurement process prioritised 60% Quality and 40% Price in its criteria, businesses combining high service quality with cost efficiency are well-suited to participate in similar opportunities offered by Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council in future tenders. The service not only contributes to welfare improvement but also allows service providers to enhance their portfolio and expertise in serving the community effectively.
