## Summary

The London Borough of Hounslow is currently managing the procurement process for a framework agreement aimed at providing short break activities for disabled children and young people up to the age of 18. This initiative falls under health and social work services and has been established as an open tender, with an end date for bid submissions on 19 November 2021. The framework is designed to support multiple providers, offering flexibility in service delivery across the borough to ensure accessibility for families. The initial contract duration is set for three years, with the option to extend for an additional year.

This tender presents significant opportunities for growth for businesses specialising in health and social care services, particularly those that focus on recreational and educational support for children with disabilities. Companies providing innovative short break activities such as sports, music, creative arts, and community support are well-suited to compete for this contract. Given the emphasis on locally-based, inclusive schemes, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with experience in the sector stand to benefit from this collaborative procurement approach.
