This open procedure tender invites bids from experienced organisations capable of providing school holiday activities for children and young people with complex disabilities, aged 8-18, in the North and South of Central Bedfordshire. Key dates include a tender period ending on 17th October 2025, with a contract period from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2027. The procurement stage is currently at the tender stage. This tender represents a significant opportunity for organisations specialising in children's leisure activities and capable of working in partnership with local authorities and special schools. Businesses experienced in providing care and recreational services to children with disabilities will find this opportunity aligns with their expertise. It offers potential for growth by fulfilling a vital community need, engaging with local governance, and enhancing service delivery tailored for children with disabilities and their families in Central Bedfordshire. ## Notice We are looking for an organisation(s) that are experienced in delivering clubs and leisure activities to groups of children and young people with a range of complex disabilities between the ages of 8-18 years old. We require dedicated school holiday activities in both North and South of Central Bedfordshire for children who have been assessed as needing care and support by the Children with Disabilities social work teams. We welcome applications from provider(s) who can demonstrate they can work in partnership with the Local Authority and our area special schools and who understand the cohort, approach and meet the outcomes outlined in this specification. These Leisure Activities provide disabled children and young people with an opportunity to spend time away from their parents or carers, having fun with their friends, experiencing a range of activities, challenges and environments that are designed to meet their needs. In addition, they provide parent carers with a necessary and valuable break from their caring responsibilities. The focus of this funding programme is to support the delivery of dedicated school holiday provision to children and young people with the highest level of need with the aim of building positive, challenging, engaging and developmental experiences for the children and young people open to the Children with Disabilities Service.
