## Summary

The Staffordshire County Council is currently finalising the Children's Community Support Flexible Framework (Including Domiciliary) procurement process. This initiative, classified under Health and Social Work Services, focuses on providing specialised support for children and young people with disabilities in the West Midlands region. The procurement process is at the award stage, having recently concluded the tender period that ended on 26 November 2021. The total contract value is £3,150,000, with a minimum value of £2,800,000. The contract period spans from 1 April 2022 to 30 September 2025.

This framework presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in health and social care services, particularly those equipped to provide personalised support for children with disabilities. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate due to the nature of the contract, which includes various service lots such as Lifeskills and Independence support, Community and Home Care services, and more. Companies capable of delivering tailored care packages that promote independence and well-being for children and young people will find this procurement particularly relevant for their business growth.

## Notice

Staffordshire County Council (SCC) has a legal duty to ensure Children's Community Support (including Domiciliary Care) provision is in place to support Children and Young People (C/YP) with a range of Disabilities who have been assessed by a qualified Social Worker as being eligible for a personal care service within the family home and local community. Currently Providers support Children and Young People with a range of Disabilities, including Children and Young People with physical and learning Disabilities, autism and challenging behaviours, and many children have multiple needs. They provide a range of Care Packages across Staffordshire which are tailored to the specific needs of eligible Children and Young People. Similarly, SCC also has a legal duty to offer a range of commissioned community short breaks opportunities, ranging from community-based breaks of a few hours, to overnight short breaks for Children with Disabilities under the Breaks for Carers of Disabled Children regulations 2011. This programme of support is known as 'Aiming High for Children with Disabilities' in Staffordshire, and augments our in-house and commissioned Overnight Short Breaks Units, and the support of Short Breaks Foster Carers in providing the range of short breaks for Children to give parents and carers a meaningful short break from their caring responsibilities in order that they can maintained for the long term. SCC have previously commissioned a range of Providers from across Staffordshire to deliver Children's Community Support and Short Breaks on behalf of the Council, contracted as two separate support programmes. The Council has decided to commission 1:1 Lifeskills and Independence, which was part of the Children's Community Support and Short Breaks offer, as combined service under this Children's Community Support (including domiciliary) Service Specification. It is expected to be able to provide a more flexible, responsive support service that can draw on the Children, Young People and families' existing strengths, and focuses on development, independence, preparedness for adulthood, and provide cost effectiveness. This Service will comprise of four Lot's: * Lot 1- Lifeskills and Independence * Lot 2- Community and Home Care Support and socialisation * Lot 3- Sitting Services * Lot 4- Complex and Urgent Care
