## Summary

Neath Port Talbot County Borough Council is conducting a procurement process for "Children’s and Young People’s Short Break Services", an initiative aimed at providing essential social services within the social care sector. This open procedure has reached the award stage, with contracts signed for two service lots: the Family Link Service and the Positive Play Service, both set to commence in July 2021. The contract duration is three years, with an option for a further thirty-six-month extension. The tender submission period has now concluded, with an end date for submissions on April 8, 2021, and multiple delivery addresses located in the UKL17 region.

Companies that can offer innovative and engaging programmes will be well positioned to compete, as the contract allows bidding for one or both service lots. This initiative aligns with the Social Services and Well-being (Wales) Act 2014, creating substantial avenues for growth and partnership within the community-focused service sector.
