The procurement is currently in the Award stage, with a contract value of approximately £3,060,000 for an initial period of 12 months commencing on 25 April 2018, with a potential extension of 24 months. The services are set to improve outcomes for the children participating as well as their parents and carers, and the tender period concluded on 6 February 2018. This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in health and social work services, especially those specialising in inclusive activities for children with SEND. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community and social enterprises (VCSEs) would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract, as it encourages innovative approaches to providing care and activities that support children's development and independence while enabling their caregivers to take necessary breaks. ## Notice "Lancashire Break Time provides opportunities for non-assessed children and young people (CYP) with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) aged 4-18 who are unable to access universal services, to participate in social, cultural and/or leisure activities independently of their families, while their unpaid parent(s)/carer(s) receive a break from the caring process. Lancashire County Council believes that as many CYP with SEND as is possible should be able to access and enjoy short break services. The service will be available to service users who live in Lancashire (excluding Blackburn with Darwen and Blackpool). The service is commissioned during school holidays. The service seeks to improve outcomes for both CYP and their parents and carers. The service advocates that parents and carers are supported in their caring role and those CYP with SEND are supported to engage in life enriching activities and to socialise with their peers in a safe and comfortable environment. The value of the Framework for the initial period of 12 months is approximately PS1,020,000. The Framework may be extended for a further 24 months subject to the conditions set out in the contractual documents.
