This contract, classified under the Health and Social Work Services industry category (CPV: 85000000), pertains to service delivery within Yorkshire and the Humber, United Kingdom. The Council seeks to establish future contractual arrangements with organisations to provide support at home, support in the community, and overnight respite for children with disabilities. Key dates include the engagement end date on 9th December 2024, by which suppliers are invited to submit their responses regarding the market sounding exercise (MSE). This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) with expertise in providing domiciliary care and support for children with disabilities. Businesses capable of delivering high-quality and compassionate care services that can enhance the outcomes for children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) are well-suited to compete. By participating in this procurement exercise and providing feedback, businesses can help shape the procurement process to align better with market capabilities and needs, potentially leading to more targeted and efficient contractual arrangements. ## Notice Kirklees Council are looking into a potential procurement option to put in place future contractual arrangements for suitably qualified and experienced organisations to deliver Support at Home, Support in the Community and Overnight Respite for Children with Disabilities. To support this, we would like to gain information from the market regarding a number of issues related to the potential procurement exercise. Suppliers are therefore invited to consider the programme requirements detailed in this document and complete the attached questionnaire to give us feedback on the proposed approach. It is a Kirklees Council priority to provide the best possible outcomes for all children, young people, and families, especially our most vulnerable children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND). Kirklees invests in a wide range of services that support children, young people, and families with additional needs. This Market Sounding Exercise (MSE) is not an invitation to tender or a request for formal expressions of interest. The Council, as contracting authority, is issuing this request for information only, in order to assess the reaction of the market and thus make any potential procurement process more focused and efficient. Response deadline 12 noon 9th December 2024.
