The aim of the DPS is to provide parents, carers, and family members the opportunity to have a short break from their caring responsibilities, to widen choice and geographical spread, increase responsiveness and flexibility, encourage inclusion and integration, and achieve value for money. WCF welcomes interest and registrations from a wide range of community, youth, and children's organisations, not just those with a current specialism in disabilities. Organisations can apply for one or more of these services in a single community, locality or across the county of Worcestershire. ### Lot Information Lot 1 - Year round evening and weekend activities Year round evening and weekend activities for children and young people with disabilities or complex health needs Options: option to extend for up to a further 2 years Lot 2 - After school activities After school activities for children with disabilities or complex health needs Options: option to extend for up to a further 2 years Lot 3 - School holiday provision School holiday activities for children with disabilities or complex health needs Options: option to extend for up to a further 2 years ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/000216-2024 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Dynamic | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Restricted procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 4 Jan 2024 | | Submission deadline | 31 Aug 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Aug 2022 - 31 Aug 2024 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £1,764,000 | | Lots value | £1,764,000 | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Active | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | WORCESTERSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL | | Locality | WORCESTER | | Post town | Worcester | | Postcode | WR5 2NP | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLG West Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLG1 Herefordshire, Worcestershire and Warwickshire | | ITL 3 | TLG12 Worcestershire CC | | Local authority | Worcester | | Electoral ward | Nunnery | | Westminster constituency | Worcester | | Delivery location | TLG12 Worcestershire CC | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85312120 - Daycare services for handicapped children and young people ## Release History - 4 Jan 2024 at 12:58 - TenderUpdate - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/000216-2024 - 4 Jan 2024 at 12:56 - TenderUpdate - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/000215-2024 - 4 Jan 2024 at 12:54 - TenderUpdate - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/000214-2024 - 4 Jan 2024 at 12:46 - TenderUpdate - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/000210-2024 - 13 Jun 2022 at 10:17 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/016112-2022 ## Notice URLs - http://worcestershire.gov.uk/tendering - https://www.in-tendhost.co.uk/worcestershire/aspx/Home - https://www.worcestershire.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
