## Summary

The Lancashire County Council is initiating a procurement process for the "Lancashire Children's Break Time and Leisure Opportunities Framework" under the health and social work services category. The procurement is currently in the planning stage, with a future notice date set for 1st April 2026. The council is situated in Preston, United Kingdom, and plans to offer group-based social, leisure, and sports activities for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) who have an unassessed need. This framework will be executed through a competitive flexible procedure and is classified under a light-touch regime. The contract is substantial, with a gross value estimate of £10 million, with the contract period planned to start on 1st April 2027 and run until 31st March 2035.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in providing leisure and social services geared towards children and young people with SEND. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) are strongly encouraged to participate, particularly those experienced in delivering health and social work services. Given the framework's long-term nature and substantial budget, participating businesses can experience sustained growth and establish critical footholds within the sub-central government market sector in the UK.
