This initiative falls under the industry category of social work and related services and aims to source expressions of interest and relevant information for providing short breaks for children and young people with disabilities. The planned service is scheduled to commence on 1st November 2022, with a potential contract length of three years, subject to performance evaluations. Interested parties must submit their Market Engagement Questionnaire responses by midday on 9th February 2022 via the London Tenders Portal. This procurement opportunity presents a significant chance for businesses specialising in social care and support services to engage with the local authority and potentially expand their service offerings. Companies that focus on providing activities, befriending services, or care for disabled children and young people would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. By participating in this market engagement, businesses can not only position themselves to secure future contracts but also contribute to the well-being and independence of young people within the community. ## Notice The London Borough of Redbridge ("the Authority") is seeking expressions of interest and information for the provision of Short Breaks Services for children and young people with disabilities. Short breaks are intended to have positive benefits for both disabled children and young people (5-25 years) and their parents and carers. The main aims of short break services are to provide disabled children and young people the opportunity to: * Spend time away from their parents and carers * Relax and have fun to develop friendships * Develop their independence. They also give families an opportunity to have a break from their caring responsibilities; and spend time with other members of their family. Short break provision can range from a few hours per week to an allocated number of activity days/breaks per year. Short breaks can include day, evening, weekend activities, school holidays and after school. It can also include befriending and enabling young people to access leisure-based activities, transition support and independence skills. The service may take place in the child or young person's own home, or an activity centre or community setting. The provision of short breaks is considered an important part of the support provided to families of disabled children and young people. The service is scheduled to commence on 1st November 2022. It is anticipated that the contract will be for a period of three years with possible extensions, dependent on performance but that is yet to be confirmed. Please note that this exercise is intended to assess the level of interest from potential providers, to provide the services outlined above and help inform the service. Your responses are not "evaluated'' or scored as this exercise is not part of a procurement process this is for engagement and development purposes. The Market Engagement Questionnaire is to be completed and returned via the London Tenders Portal messaging function by Wednesday 9th February 2022 Midday (12 Noon) ### Lot Information Lot 1 The London Borough of Redbridge ("the Authority") is seeking expressions of interest and information for the provision of Short Breaks Services for children and young people with disabilities.
