This initiative falls under the category of social work and related services and is located in the North West region of the United Kingdom. The tender period is set to close on 26th February 2018, with the contract expected to commence on 1st April 2018, lasting until 31st March 2019. The procurement follows an open procedure, aiming to expand the Approved List of providers for various short break services that cater to children and young people with disabilities, including personal care assistance and recreational activities. This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses operating within the social care sector, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations. Companies that offer personal care, sitting services, befriending, outreach, or recreational activities would find this procurement particularly relevant. By participating, these businesses can contribute to enhancing support services for vulnerable young people while potentially expanding their service offerings and client base within the local governmental framework. ## Notice This Approved List has been reopened and the council is seeking to invite providers onto the Approved list who can deliver a range of different options for short break services to children and young people with a disability.
