UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Hampshire County Council is commissioning specialist care support services for children and young people with disabilities, through its Children’s Services department. The requirement covers children and young people with severe learning or physical disabilities, autistic spectrum conditions, behaviour that challenges, and complex physical or mental health needs. This call-off concerns complex health needs requiring care workers with additional clinical training or experience, such as PEG feeding, epilepsy management, suctioning and complex medication regimes. Services form part of personalised support packages based on care plans and identified outcomes, within the council’s specialist Tier 4 provision. Delivery is across Hampshire, for families supported by Hampshire County Council’s Disabled Children’s Team.

This completed, competitive call-off was awarded under a framework using a selective procedure. One lot was awarded to Onecall24 Healthcare Limited on 15 July 2026 for £416,000 gross (£416,000 including VAT), with the contract scheduled from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2030. The contract can be extended by two periods of up to two years, taking the maximum end date to 31 August 2034. Each extension is stated as having a value of £10,750,000 excluding VAT. The award is active and the tender status is complete. A contract signature milestone was scheduled for 17 August 2026. The procurement is classified as a light-touch service procedure.

This award shows demand from Hampshire County Council for specialist, child-centred health and social care delivered as part of wider care plans, rather than standard domiciliary care alone. Suppliers are well placed if they can support children with severe disabilities and significant clinical needs, and can provide staff trained or experienced in PEG feeding, epilepsy management, suctioning and complex medication regimes. Credibility will also depend on delivering safe, reliable support around individual outcomes, working with families and social care professionals, and adapting provision to more personalised ways of working. Organisations with a strong workforce development offer may be particularly relevant, since the service is intended to build staff skills while improving the experience of children, young people and their families.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Care Support Services for Children with a Disability - CS26605D - Complex Support (Health Needs)

Notice Description

Hampshire County Council Children's Services commissions care support for children and young people with disabilities. The children and young people requiring care support services will include those with severe disabilities such as learning disabilities, physical disabilities, autistic spectrum conditions, behaviour that challenges and complex physical or mental health needs. The Services are part of a holistic support package for the child / young person that meets identified outcomes as part of a Care Plan as agreed by the Council's County Allocation Panel. This Service is part of Hampshire County Council's Children's Services Department's continuum of services which support children and young people with disabilities. Care support is a Tier 4 specialist service, which can be offered to a family following a social care assessment where the Disabled Children's Team criteria has been met and/or an unmet social care need has been identified. This Service aims to facilitate the development of the market to deliver services in new and more personalised ways rather than the conventional delivery of domiciliary care which in turn will enhance the skills of staff, potentially offering greater job satisfaction, in delivering the Service and improving the experience of the Service User. This Notice relates to a call off procedure for Care Support Services for Children with a Disability - Complex Support (Health). This is for children and young people with significant health needs requiring staff with additional clinical training or experience (e.g., PEG feeding, epilepsy management, suctioning, complex medication regimes). Any potential value will be awarded through subsequently awarded Individual Service Contracts rather than at this call off stage.
