## Summary

Knowsley Council is seeking to contract for the delivery of "Short Breaks: Activities for Disabled Children Aged 4-7" during the summer of 2018, with services commencing in the week of 23rd July 2018 and concluding in the week of 27th August 2018. This initiative falls under the primary education services category and provides essential support for children with various needs, including learning disabilities and Autism. The overall value of the contract is £27,000, and the procurement method used was an open procedure, with the tender period having ended on 13th June 2018.

This tender presents significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that specialise in educational and social services for children with disabilities. Companies adept at providing flexible, tailored services that address complex health needs, sensory impairments, and associated challenging behaviours will be well-positioned to compete. With a focus on personalised care, businesses that understand the needs of children with Autism and behavioural challenges may particularly excel in this competitive procurement process.

## Notice

Knowsley Council wish to commission an organisation to deliver Short Breaks activities for the 2018 school summer holidays (maximum of a 6 week period, starting during w/c 23rd July 2018 and ending during w/c 27th August 2018). Children and young people accessing short breaks have a wide range of needs, and therefore it is anticipated that the Service Provider will be able to offer a flexible and personalised service to meet the individual needs of each child. Needs to be met, include: * Learning disabilities * Physical disabilities * Sensory impairments * Complex health needs * Autistic Spectrum Condition (ASC) * Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) * Associated challenging behaviours. The Provider should aim to provide services that meet the needs of all of the above. However, it is important to note that the predominant category of need that we find in attendance at our current short breaks provision is those children with (or awaiting a diagnosis of) Autism, and/or associated challenging behaviours.
