## Notice

The procurement is being conducted by West Sussex County Council, whilst working with Surrey County Council. Both Local Authorities will have the ability to utilise the Framework from the commencement date. This framework is now open to receive new applications to join the framework. The contract covers urgent and specialist personal support to children with additional needs and disabilities. Personal support in the home has two main roles: o Supporting children and young people with additional needs and disabilities to achieve the outcomes of their care plan. o Supporting parents and carers, by giving them assistance with their caring responsibilities or a short break. This is to enable them to look after their own emotional and physical health and provide more sustainable care to their whole family.
