The procurement is currently in the tender stage, with a deadline set for 5th March 2025. The project aims to provide short breaks through group-based outdoor activities, indoor sports, and various fun and engaging activities for children and young people aged 5-18 years with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The contract period is from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2027 with an estimated value of £70,000. This open procedure is below the threshold and is suitable for small or medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). This tender offers a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in health and social services, particularly those experienced in working with SEND children and young individuals. Businesses with capabilities in providing outdoor and indoor recreational activities, and those with the appropriate staffing levels, would be well-suited to compete. Winning this contract could enable businesses to expand their service offerings, increase their clientele, and establish a strong partnership with Trafford Council. ## Notice 1. Outdoor group provision - Trafford Council is looking to commission a group based offer for CYP aged 5 - 18 years with SEND who are unable to access mainstream provisions with an approximate staffing ratio of 1 :3.

The sessions should be delivered weekends during term times, and week days during school holidays. The contract term will be for a period of 1 + 1 years. 2. Indoor sport provision - Trafford Council is looking to commission a group based offer for CYP aged 5 - 18 years with SEND who are unable to access mainstream provisions with an approximate staffing ratio of 1 :3..
