## Summary

Blackpool Council is seeking suppliers for the contract titled "Short Breaks for Children and Young People" within the health and social work services industry category. The procurement method is an open procedure, and the tender period concluded on 11th January 2021.

The services will be delivered in the North West region of the United Kingdom.

This tender presents significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) to expand their services in the social care sector. Businesses equipped to provide engaging activities for children and young people, especially those with experience in residential or community settings, could find this an advantageous opportunity to contribute positively to the community while also fostering business growth.

## Notice

Short breaks are part of a continuum of services which support children in need and their families. They include the provision of day, evening, overnight and weekend activities for the child or young person, and can take place in the child's own home, the home of an approved carer, or in a residential or community setting. The breaks usually have two aims: to enable the child to participate in fun, interesting and safe activities; and to provide a break from caring for the parent / carer. Blackpool Council is seeking suitable providers across a number of lots to deliver a range of short break provision.
