The tender is currently in the active stage, following an open procurement method that allows all interested parties to apply. The tender period closes on 10 August 2020, with the contract set to commence on 1 September 2020 and lasting until 31 August 2024. The estimated value of the contract ranges from £60,000 to £120,000. This tender presents a valuable opportunity for organisations specialised in providing welfare services for children and young people, particularly those with experience supporting individuals with ASC. Businesses, including small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), would be well-suited to compete, especially those with services that incorporate tailored activities and adequate staff-to-child ratios. This contract allows for growth in a sector that values sensitivity and specialised care, making it an attractive proposition for eligible providers. ## Notice Trafford Council would like to invite providers to express their interest and bid for the provision of Short Break Service / Club for Children with Autistic Spectrum Condition (ASC). We are interested in proposed projects that offer a short break service for children and young people with ASC aged 5 - 18 years, split into age appropriate groups. The duration of each group session is to be determined by the provider but considerations should be made to the following: * The age of the child and capacity for attention / engagement * Providing enough time for parent / carer to benefit from the short break whilst considering travel time etc. * The activity on offer - this should be a mix of in house activities / community based activities / day trips. * Duration to be flexible dependent upon activity offered The short break service should be aimed at children and young people with a written diagnosis of ASC. The proposed offer should provide a timetabled, structured group activity which offers a higher staff ratio than other short break services offered in Trafford (i.e. greater than 2:5 but less than 1:1). The provider should give consideration to any reasonable adjustments that may need to be made for the CYP attending this service. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0134f41d-e57f-4117-8b98-39f20135f135 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 13 Jul 2020 | | Submission deadline | 10 Aug 2020 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Aug 2020 - 31 Aug 2024 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £120,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | TRAFFORD COUNCIL | | Locality | STRETFORD | | Post town | Manchester | | Postcode | M32 0TH | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD3 Greater Manchester | | ITL 3 | TLD34 Greater Manchester South West | | Local authority | Trafford | | Electoral ward | Gorse Hill & Cornbrook | | Westminster constituency | Stretford and Urmston | | Delivery location | TLD North West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85311300 - Welfare services for children and young people ## Release History - 13 Jul 2020 at 16:56 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0134f41d-e57f-4117-8b98-39f20135f135 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0134f41d-e57f-4117-8b98-39f20135f135 13th July 2020 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=2db1e9fd-27c5-ea11-8104-005056b64545 Advert ## Notice URLs - http://www.trafford.gov.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
