Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Sutton commissioned overnight short breaks for children and young people with disabilities, providing respite for their families at Rainbow House in Sutton. This is a health and social care service. The requirement is for overnight care in a dedicated respite setting, serving children and young people with disabilities and giving families a break from caring responsibilities. Delivery is in the London Borough of Sutton.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Sutton used a direct award below the relevant threshold, without competition. Achieving for Children Community Interest Company was selected as supplier, and the contract was signed on 1 April 2025. Its term runs from 1 April 2025 to 31 March 2026, with a gross value of £167,233.20. The requirement was arranged as a single lot. The published information does not set out an evaluation basis or participation requirements.

For providers of disability and children’s social care, this award demonstrates Sutton’s demand for overnight respite in a dedicated setting, rather than general support delivered only in families’ homes. A credible provider would need to operate or provide access to an appropriate overnight environment such as Rainbow House, and deliver safe, reliable care suited to children and young people with disabilities while giving families meaningful respite. Relevant experience in children’s disability services, staffing and operational capacity to cover overnight stays, and the ability to work with families and the local authority would be commercially pertinent. The buyer used a direct award without competition for this requirement, so this process does not show that a competitive evaluation or particular accreditation was applied. The selected provider was Achieving for Children Community Interest Company, a large organisation.
