The location for service delivery is within Hertfordshire, United Kingdom, and the procurement method employed is an open procedure, compliant with Public Contracts Regulations 2015. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses operating in the social services and educational support sectors, particularly those specialising in care for children with complex needs. Companies that have experience in providing residential services, therapeutic support, or educational assistance tailored to children with autism and learning difficulties would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. Moreover, the scope of the services required under this contract may allow for opportunities to collaborate with local schools and community organisations, thus facilitating business growth and the potential to build long-term relationships within the sector. ## Notice Hertfordshire County Council, hereafter referred to as the Council, recognises the need for additional local provision for Children and Young People (C&YP) with autism, learning difficulties and / or challenging behaviour in Hertfordshire so that they can continue to live and receive their education near to their families and the local community. Wynchlands Crescent will enable C&YP with autism to continue access local special school placements and this will be an alternative to residential out of county placements. Wynchlands Crescent is an existing Hertfordshire County Council property that was developed as a specialist resource for children with complex needs and offers spacious, modern and highly specialist accommodation. The property has fully on-suite accommodation for all C&YP as well as additional kitchens, communal spaces, offices and staff facilities. In addition the property has been refurbished and upgraded to provide the service. The property has previously been registered and inspected as a children's home by Ofsted and therefore Ofsted compliant. Full details are contained within the Specification, Schedule 1 of the Conditions of Contract. The core Contract period will be for a period of five years, with the option to extend for a further period of up to two years at 12 month intervals. The procurement will follow Light Touch regime principles in accordance with Public Contracts Regulations 2015.
