This procurement falls under the health and social work services category, with a total estimated value of £8,500,000. Both West Sussex and Surrey County Councils will have the capacity to utilise the framework once established, with the contract period commencing on 1st March 2022 and concluding on 28th February 2026. The tender submission period closes on 14th December 2021, and the delivery addresses for services are located in the South East of the United Kingdom. The procurement is proceeding via an open procedure, classified as above threshold. This tender presents valuable opportunities for businesses focused on health and social services, particularly those that specialise in supporting children with additional needs and disabilities. Companies that provide personal support services in home settings, including those offering respite care for families or specialised therapeutic interventions for children, will find themselves well-suited to compete. This framework will enable successful bidders to establish a lasting partnership with local authorities, potentially expanding their service offerings and securing ongoing contracts in a growing sector. ## Notice The procurement is being conducted by West Sussex County Council, whilst working with Surrey County Council. Both Local Authorities will have the ability to utilise the Framework from the commencement date. The contract covers urgent and specialist personal support to children with additional needs and disabilities. Personal support in the home has two main roles: o Supporting children and young people with additional needs and disabilities to achieve the outcomes of their care plan. o Supporting parents and carers, by giving them assistance with their caring responsibilities or a short break. This is to enable them to look after their own emotional and physical health and provide more sustainable care to their whole family.
