## Summary

The procurement process, initiated by Trafford Council, seeks to commission services for the "CAN (Children with Additional Needs) Short Breaks" programme. The aim is to provide short breaks for children with disabilities across Trafford, with service delivery commencing on 1st September 2017. The tender period concludes on 14th July 2017. The value of the contract is set at £75,000, classified under health and social work services. Trafford Council, located at Trafford Town Hall, Stretford, is utilising a selective procurement method through a restricted procedure, requiring potential bidders to apply to The Early Help Dynamic Purchasing System prior to submission.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the health and social care sector, particularly those focused on delivering services for children with disabilities. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, even if they are not based in Trafford, as bids from organisations in Greater Manchester and neighbouring authorities are welcome. Businesses capable of providing after-school and weekend activities, alongside befriending services, stand to benefit considerably from this commissioning process, fostering growth and collaboration in this vital sector.

## Notice

Trafford Council currently has contracts with organisations to deliver short breaks for children with disabilities across Trafford. This includes activities after school and at weekends and a befriending service. Contracts come to an end in August 2017. We are now looking to commission service to begin delivering on September 1st 2017. To apply for these new opportunities you need first to apply to The Early Help Dynamic Purchasing System. You need to apply under the theme complex and additional needs, one of the six areas covered by the Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS). You can apply for other themes too if you wish. Providers will need to be part of this DPS before being able to bid for short breaks in future competitions. If you have been unsuccessful in the past you are welcome reapply. Trafford Council's current providers are not based in Trafford, so you do not need to be based in, or currently delivering services in, Trafford. We welcome bids from organisations delivering services in Greater Manchester and in neighbouring authorities.
