## Summary

Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council is in the process of implementing a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) aimed at providing short break activities for children and young people with disabilities. This initiative, classified under education and training services, will run from December 1, 2020, for a duration of three years, with the possibility of a two-year extension. The tender period concluded on November 30, 2020, and the total value of the contract is estimated at £600,000. Interested providers can apply through the YORtender system, and all successful applicants will be added to a live list of approved operators.

This DPS presents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in social and community services, particularly those offering activities tailored for children and young people with disabilities. Companies such as health and social work service providers, educational service providers, and community engagement organisations will find themselves in a prime position to participate. The flexible nature of the DPS allows for various service providers to engage and contribute to this vital community service, thus promoting growth within their respective markets.

## Notice

Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council, is looking to establish a Light Touch Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) to procure provision of short break activities for disabled children and young people. A DPS offers a flexible and responsive approach to commissioning and purchasing which we believe would improve the existing arrangements for short breaks. The DPS is a "live" list of approved operators. The DPS will be advertised via YORtender system, and providers can complete a simple on-line application process using the YORtender portal. All providers who meet and pass the exclusion and selection criteria will be admitted to the DPS. Successful operators will be advised that they are on the DPS. Please note this DPS will run from December 2020 for 3 years with an option to extend for 24 months (2 x12).
