Additionally, the SEND code of practice 0- 25 years (January 2015) provides statutory guidance on organizations such as the local authority on the delivery of a short breaks offer. Purpose: The overarching purpose of the service is to provide Children and Young People (CYP) with Special Educational Needs and/or Disabilities (SEND) with opportunities to take part in social and educational and leisure activities outside their home. These opportunities will be independent of the parents and carers of the CYP with SEND which will also provide them with a break. The activities on offer will be led by service users with the provider encouraging ambition and encouraging positive risk taking. They will be culturally appropriate and meet the racial, cultural, linguistic, gender, sexual orientation and religious needs of the CYP. They will provide opportunities for new experiences, promote friendships and supportive relationships. The activities will promote inclusion and promote skills to enable CYP with SEND to participate more fully in the community. Local context. Wiltshire (excluding Swindon) has over 15,000 CYP identified and as having SEN support and have been issued with a SEN plan. Of this number there are over 3500 CYP that have been with issued with an EHCP. Wiltshire is a large and rural county and services need to offer provision to a large geographical area. Transport links continue to develop and improve but travelling around Wiltshire continues to pose a challenge to the community. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/031386-2023 | | Notice type | Planning Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 24 Oct 2023 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 6 Nov 2023 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planned | | Lots status | Planned | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | WILTSHIRE COUNCIL | | Locality | TROWBRIDGE | | Post town | Bath | | Postcode | BA14 8JN | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK7 Gloucestershire and Wiltshire | | ITL 3 | TLK72 Wiltshire | | Local authority | Wiltshire | | Electoral ward | Trowbridge Central | | Westminster constituency | South West Wiltshire | | Delivery location | TLK15 Wiltshire | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 55 - Hotel, restaurant and retail trade services - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 55243000 - Children's holiday-camp services - 85311300 - Welfare services for children and young people - 85312120 - Daycare services for handicapped children and young people ## Release History - 24 Oct 2023 at 15:19 - Planning - Planning Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/031386-2023 ## Notice URLs - http://www.supplyingthesouthwest.org.uk - http://www.wiltshire.gov.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
