## Summary

The Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council is inviting tenders for a Flexible Procurement System for the Provision of Short Breaks for Children and Young People with Disabilities, covering Stockport, Trafford, Tameside, and Rochdale. The procurement stage is currently active with an open procedure method, and the tender period concludes on 4th March 2020. This substantial contract, valued at £11,600,000, focuses on welfare services for children and young people, with services set to commence from 1st April 2020 through to 31st August 2029.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in personal care and community support services aimed at children and young people with disabilities. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) particularly well-positioned to engage. Companies that can provide flexible, child-centred care options that maintain familial ties will find this contract aligns well with their service offerings, thereby fostering business growth and community impact.

## 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.
