This tender presents significant opportunities for service providers focusing on community and social services, particularly those experienced in delivering activities for children and individuals with special needs. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, as the commissioning process aims to cater to a diverse range of informal educational activities that meet various family needs. Engaging in this contract could enable businesses to expand their services and enhance their community impact while supporting families in need of respite care. ## Notice Essex County Council (ECC), is seeking to secure a range of good quality provision for the Short Breaks Community Clubs and Activities component of its Short Breaks Service. Short Breaks Community Clubs and Activities (SBCCA) offer parents and carers of children and young people with special educational needs and/or disability (SEND) a break from their additional caring responsibilities, while ensuring children and young people have the opportunities develop, learn, socialise and interact with their peers. ECC aims to commission services that provide children and young people with SEND enjoyable and meaningful experiences that help them with their personal, social and educational development. SBCCA will give parents and carers a valuable break, enabling them to rest, pursue other interests or spend time with other family members. We recognise that each family's needs are different and for this reason will seek to commission a good range of informal educational activities suitable to meet the varied needs of children and young people from their early years to their 19th birthdays. ECC has undertaken extensive engagement with families and have co-produced a delivery model that responds to the improvements families identified and the needs of their children as outlined in the Short Breaks Commissioning Strategy ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/3915531f-1de4-422a-9a3b-17f11266f754 | | 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 | 27 Jun 2022 | | Submission deadline | 2 Sep 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Mar 2023 - 31 Mar 2028 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £1,322,000 | | 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 | ESSEX COUNTY COUNCIL | | Locality | CHELMSFORD | | Post town | Chelmsford | | Postcode | CM1 1QH | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLH East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLH3 Essex | | ITL 3 | TLH36 Heart of Essex | | Local authority | Chelmsford | | Electoral ward | Moulsham and Central | | Westminster constituency | Chelmsford | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England), TLH East (England), TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services - 98 - Other community, social and personal services ### Codes - 85100000 - Health services - 85300000 - Social work and related services - 98000000 - Other community, social and personal services ## Release History - 27 Jun 2022 at 10:21 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/3915531f-1de4-422a-9a3b-17f11266f754 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/3915531f-1de4-422a-9a3b-17f11266f754 27th June 2022 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - https://www.essex.gov.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
