## Summary

The London Borough of Southwark is initiating a tender for the provision of short breaks services for children and young people, with a focus on those with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The procurement process is currently in the planning stage, with key milestones including an engagement end date set for 31 August 2019. The new service provision is expected to commence in October 2020, with a budget of £2,500,000 allocated for this project. The relevant industry category is health and social work services, and the service will be delivered in London, United Kingdom.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in health and social care, particularly those with experience in providing services for children and young people. Companies that can offer innovative solutions for short breaks, respite care, or inclusive recreational activities would be particularly well-suited to compete. Engaging with this tender could enable businesses to expand their service offerings while contributing positively to the local community by supporting families with disabled children.

Further information and the questionnaire to fill out are available on the ProContract portal.
