This procurement falls under the health and social work services category and encompasses an overall budget of £877,707. The procurement method is an open procedure, with the tender period set to end on 8 November 2021 at 10:00 AM. Interested parties are required to pay attention to the criteria for service quality and pricing, as the authority intends to award contracts based on the optimum overall service provision, with a focus on coverage, age range, levels of need, and location. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in health and social work services, particularly those with expertise in providing support for children and young people with disabilities. Companies with operational capabilities in Kingston and Richmond, and those offering building-based provisions are well-suited to compete for the lots available, which include weekend, after-school, and holiday service provisions. Potential bidders should consider the importance of quality service delivery, as the evaluation criteria favour a high standard of care alongside competitive pricing, making this an attractive venture for service providers in the sector. ## Notice The short break care offer for families in Richmond and Kingston has two elements: specialist or assessed support for children and young people with complex needs; and universal or unassessed services. This procurement is for the universal or unassessed Short Breaks offer. That is to say that this procurement is for commissioned universal services that do not include overnight respite or specialist care. To be eligible for the universal programme, children and young people must have a diagnosed disability, be aged between 4-17, and live in either Richmond or Kingston borough. Children who are eligible for specialist (assessed) short break care can additionally access the universal programme. This procurement opportunity requires providers to have building based provision in either/or both Kingston and Richmond Boroughs.
