This procurement is classified under the health and social work services industry. The procurement process is currently at the tender stage, with submissions due by 5th December 2016. The contract period is expected to begin on 1st April 2017 and last until 31st March 2021. This is an open procedure, allowing broader participation. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in health and social care services, particularly those offering welfare and daycare services for children and young people. Companies that can provide innovative and supportive short break services would be well-positioned to compete, especially those aiming to enhance children's confidence and independence. With a potential spend of up to £1.7 million annually, this framework could facilitate substantial growth for successful bidders in the sector. ## Notice Norfolk County Council wishes to establish a framework of providers of short breaks for children with disabilities. Short Breaks allow a child to spend time apart from their parent/carer, take part in activities they like, form and develop friendships and become more confident and independent. Short Breaks allow the child's family to have a break from the demands of caring, to relax and recharge their batteries, to spend time with each other and their other children and to reduce family stress. There is no guarantee of business under this framework. As a guide, the Council's potential spend is up to PS1.7 million per annum. However this does not represent a commitment to purchase the value stated, either as a minimum or a maximum, under the framework. Orders placed under the framework will be awarded on an individual basis. Additional information: This procurement will be managed electronically via the Council's e-procurement system.
