The service aims to meet the needs of adults aged 18 and over in the Barnsley area and their eligible carers, allowing for 24/7 access to respite care. The engagement deadline for interested parties is 21st September 2018, while further details can be found in the early engagement notice published on 21st June 2018. This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses in the health and social care sector, particularly those specialising in residential services for individuals with disabilities. Companies that can offer innovative solutions or support tailored to the needs of adults with learning and/or physical disabilities and their carers will be well-positioned to compete. This could also attract providers of respite care services looking to expand their operations within the Yorkshire and the Humber region. ## Notice Barnsley Council is seeking to re-commission their Specialist Residential Nursing Respite Service for Adults with a Learning Disability and/or Physical Disability in 2018 to ensure we continue to meet the needs of service users and their carers.

This Service is offered to adults with a learning disability and/or physical disability aged 18 and over, living in the Barnsley area; and * their carers who have been assessed as eligible for short breaks from their caring roles under the current carers assessment process; or * who are currently living with Shared Lives Carers who are eligible to a break from their caring role. The service is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. The carer has an assessment completed prior to accessing the service and the amount of respite they require is determined.
