## Summary

The Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council is seeking bids for a Flexible Procurement System for the Provision of Short Breaks for Children and Young People with Disabilities. This tender is categorised under welfare services for children and young people and has an approximate value of £11.6 million. The procurement process is currently in the active stage, with the tender period closing on 22nd July 2019. The contract is expected to commence on 1st September 2019 and will last until 31st August 2026, focusing on services delivered within the North West region of the United Kingdom.

This procurement presents a valuable opportunity for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) to provide essential personal care and support services.

Engaging in this tender could help businesses expand their service offerings while contributing positively to the welfare of vulnerable children and young people in the region.

## Notice

This Flexible Purchasing System (FPS) has been established for the provision of personal care and support within a domiciliary environment and in the community, either individually on a one-to-one basis or in a group setting, to enable children to remain living with their families and prevent or delay the need to move to alternative forms of care, should their assessed care needs change. This specification does not include 24 hour nursing care. The services commissioned from the FPS should place the child at the centre of the service, giving them the flexibility, choice and control that they choose.
