Summary of the contracting process

Derbyshire County Council established the CCS079 Children with Disabilities Short Breaks and Respite Framework for specialised health and social care services for children and young people with disabilities or additional needs, and their families, across Derbyshire. The framework covers four service areas: community-based befriending and mentoring; overnight short breaks delivered from dedicated premises; specialist group activities; and home care. It is an open framework scheme designed to provide flexible support matched to individual children, young people and families. Referrals are allocated according to the relevant service, geographical area and the needs of the child or young person. The main procurement category is services, classified under CPV 85000000 for health and social work services.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through an above-threshold open procedure. The award date was 18 March 2026 and contracts were signed on 1 May 2026. Each lot has an awarded value of £15,800,000 gross. Lot A was awarded to Chosen Healthcare, Connex Community Support, Five Healthgroup, Lifecome Care, Lifeserve Solutions, Litania Healthcare Professional Services, Magnus Care, Nassh Healthcare, Newdon Health Care, Oaks Healthcare, One to One Support Services, Springs of Joy Care Solution and Umbrella Derby & Derbyshire. Lot B was awarded to Together Care Solutions and Truvim England. Lot C was awarded to Chosen Healthcare, Lifecome Care, Lifeserve Solutions, Litania Healthcare Professional Services, Magnus Care, Nassh Healthcare, Newdon Health Care, One to One Support Services, Springs of Joy Care Solution, Truvim England and Umbrella Derby & Derbyshire. Lot D was awarded to BWA Health & Care Services, Chosen Healthcare, Connex Community Support, Fig Tree Blossom, Five Healthgroup, Fosse Support Services, Lifecome Care, Lifeserve Solutions, Litania Healthcare Professional Services, Magnus Care, Nassh Healthcare, Newdon Health Care, Oaks Healthcare, One to One Support Services, Springs of Joy Care Solution, Truvim England and Yourcare24. The initial contract period runs from 1 May 2026 to 30 April 2028, with a maximum framework extent to 30 April 2032. Evaluation weighted quality at 75%, price at 20% and social value at 5%; economic and technical selection criteria applied.

This opportunity demonstrates sustained council demand for specialist support to disabled children and young people in Derbyshire. Relevant competitors would need credible capability in one or more of four distinct areas: relationship-based befriending and mentoring, staffed overnight respite from suitable premises, structured specialist group activities, or regulated home care. Providers should be able to evidence strong service quality, sound economic capacity, technical competence and measurable social value. The framework’s referral model favours organisations able to respond promptly to individual packages, work across the relevant geographical area, engage effectively with children, young people and families, and arrange assessments, introductions and support safely. The requirement was suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, while the successful provider group shows that both local and wider specialist care organisations can participate.
