A short break gives disabled children and young people enjoyable experiences away from their primary carers and also gives parents and carers a valuable break from caring responsibilities. Short breaks can include activities which last: a morning; an afternoon; an evening; a day; overnight; a weekend; or longer. They can take place in: the child's own home; the home of a carer, a residential or community setting. Short breaks form part of packages of support that should be personalised for the child or young person and their family based upon holistic assessment and agreed outcomes. Paragraph 6(1) (c) of the Children Act 1989 requires Local Authorities to provide services designed to assist carers of disabled children by giving them breaks from caring. This Duty came into force on 1st April 2011 and requires each Local Authority to: * Offer short breaks as a preventative early intervention strategy * Offer a range of short breaks services to parents/carers * Publish a statement of those services to parents/carers and to regularly review the statement. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a489e457-58db-4ad0-be75-7a7e2dbd0c05 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 30 Oct 2017 | | Submission deadline | 30 Nov 2017 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Mar 2018 - 29 Mar 2019 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | LEEDS CITY COUNCIL | | Locality | LEEDS | | Post town | Leeds | | Postcode | LS1 3DL | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | | ITL 2 | TLE4 West Yorkshire | | ITL 3 | TLE42 Leeds | | Local authority | Leeds | | Electoral ward | Little London & Woodhouse | | Westminster constituency | Leeds Central and Headingley | | Delivery location | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 80 - Education and training services - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 80000000 - Education and training services - 85000000 - Health and social work services ## Release History - 30 Oct 2017 at 08:54 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a489e457-58db-4ad0-be75-7a7e2dbd0c05 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a489e457-58db-4ad0-be75-7a7e2dbd0c05 30th October 2017 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - http://www.leeds.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
