The planning stage of this tender has been set with a budget of £97,000, covering the financial year from 1st April 2017 to 31st March 2018. Responses to the tender will need to address how providers will ensure best value throughout the contract period. The contract covers services to be delivered in the Yorkshire and the Humber region, with a future notice date set for 1st January 2018. This tender presents significant opportunities for small to medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that specialise in health and social care services. Businesses with expertise in providing tailored support for children and young people with complex needs may find this contract particularly relevant. To succeed, applicants will need to demonstrate their understanding of staffing requirements, output metrics, and the ability to deliver cost-effective services that cater to varying levels of need. ## Notice A range of providers are required to meet the outcomes of the overarching specification for short breaks. There is however no obligation to award the contract/s following this tender exercise. The aim of the exercise is to award a range of services within the specified financial envelope. The overall contract value is PS97,000. Providers will need to demonstrate best value both at the point of tender and through the lifetime of the contract. It is expected that contract values will vary between services/providers due to differences in outputs, activity and complexity of need/age. Therefore providers must clearly outline in their tender submission the level and type of service they aim to provide and the cost of this service. This should include: * Information in relation to staffing (ratios/experience) which will link to complexity of need in relation to provision provided. * Outputs (numbers of children and duration/frequency of activities) * What it is that will be delivered, the cost of this provision and how the cost will be profiled. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ac879808-f1a1-41d9-b279-073fc701a812 | | Notice type | Planned Procurement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 30 Mar 2017 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 1 Jan 2018 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Mar 2017 - 31 Mar 2018 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £97,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planned | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | BARNSLEY METROPOLITAN BOROUGH COUNCIL | | Locality | BARNSLEY | | Post town | Sheffield | | Postcode | S70 2RD | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | | ITL 2 | TLE3 South Yorkshire | | ITL 3 | TLE33 Barnsley | | Local authority | Barnsley | | Electoral ward | Central | | Westminster constituency | Barnsley North | | Delivery location | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85000000 - Health and social work services ## Release History - 30 Mar 2017 at 14:04 - Planning - Planned Procurement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ac879808-f1a1-41d9-b279-073fc701a812 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ac879808-f1a1-41d9-b279-073fc701a812 30th March 2017 - Future opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=69cce3ea-a7f2-e611-80dd-005056b64545 Advert ## Notice URLs - https://www.yortender.co.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
