The contract period is set to start on 1st December 2023 and run until 30th November 2027. Businesses in the services sector, especially those offering support services to disabled children, are encouraged to participate. This opportunity presented by Herefordshire Council is suited for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations. The tender process is in the open procurement stage, providing a chance for businesses to grow by securing a contract with the council to provide support services for disabled children. Businesses looking to expand in the health and social work services industry, specifically in providing individual support services, are well-positioned to compete for this tender. ## Notice The Council is seeking to contract with one or more providers in order to secure a minimum level of individual support hours to be delivered within the community or family home service. The service will be for approximately twenty-nine children, who have been assessed by the council's Children with Disabilities team as requiring specialist daytime short breaks to be delivered in the community or in the family home. This service is also referred to a buddying. These twenty-nine children will require approximately 9,000 hours support in a twelve month period. As some of the supported hours are already commissioned, the contract will initially be for at least 5,000 hours per year, with the potential to increase throughout the life of the contract.
