CHBC is designed to address the specific needs of children and young people with disabilities. The service aims are to enhance their quality of life, promote their wellbeing and enable them to remain within their family environment. The Provider will support children/young people's activities of daily living. CHBC is for those at risk of or to unable to access mainstream activities (such as leisure centres, youth clubs, sporting activities etc) due to their disability or whose care is such that it is necessary to the Authority to provide additional support to Parent/Guardian. ### Lot Information General Care General Care consists of support in the home to assist with the child/young person's activities of daily life. The care worker may take the child/young person into the community for an activity. The support can include targeted interventions, parenting support, and access to early intervention programmes. Please see Appendix 1 for an example of care needs Renewal: The scheme of frameworks will consist of two frameworks. The first framework agreement shall be for a term of 3 years, and the second framework agreement shall be for a term of 3 years with an option to extend by 2 years (3+3(2)) at the discretion of the Authority, giving a total of 8 years for the whole scheme Care and Support Care and Support involves a higher level of support for a child/young person to ensure that they can keep themselves safe and meet their activities of daily living. Care and Support is relevant to children/young people who have care needs that require the Provider to conduct an additional risk assessment or care worker training due to behavioural or clinical needs. The child/young person may require periods of constant supervision when dysregulated or to avoid dysregulation and maintain safety. Occasional double-up care (i.e. 2:1 care worker to child/young person ratio) in the community may be required. The child/young person may be accessing specialist healthcare, therapy services, and/or specialised educational support. Renewal: The scheme of frameworks will consist of two frameworks. The first framework agreement shall be for a term of 3 years, and the second framework agreement shall be for a term of 3 years with an option to extend by 2 years (3+3(2)) at the discretion of the Authority, giving a total of 8 years for the whole scheme Lot 3: Complex Care Complex Care requires a high level of support delivered into the home. The high level of support can be through the experience and skillset required of the care worker and/or the number of care hours required. The care worker will ensure the child/young person is safe and can meet their activities of daily living. The child/young person will require intensive support services, often involving multi-agency collaboration and coordinated care. This level of support is typically provided to children/young people with significant disabilities, complex medical needs, or safeguarding concerns. The social work/early help assessment will highlight the harm that the child/young person may be at risk from due to their behaviour or care needs. The child/young person will require constant supervision. Renewal: The scheme of frameworks will consist of two frameworks. The first framework agreement shall be for a term of 3 years, and the second framework agreement shall be for a term of 3 years with an option to extend by 2 years (3+3(2)) at the discretion of the Authority, giving a total of 8 years for the whole scheme ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/064196-2025 | | Notice type | UK4 - Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Framework | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 10 Oct 2025 | | Submission deadline | 3 Nov 2025 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 2 Feb 2026 - 1 Jan 2032 | | Recurrence | 2044-03-31 | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £6,848,000 | | Lots value | £6,848,000 | | 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 | LONDON BOROUGH OF HOUNSLOW | | Locality | HOUNSLOW, LONDON | | Post town | Twickenham | | Postcode | TW3 3EB | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI7 Outer London - West and North West | | ITL 3 | TLI75 Hounslow and Richmond upon Thames | | Local authority | Hounslow | | Electoral ward | Hounslow West | | Westminster constituency | Feltham and Heston | | Delivery location | TLI London | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85100000 - Health services - 85300000 - Social work and related services ## Release History - 10 Oct 2025 at 13:07 - TenderUpdate - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/064196-2025 - 8 Oct 2025 at 13:12 - TenderUpdate - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/063332-2025 - 6 Oct 2025 at 09:00 - TenderUpdate - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/062385-2025 - 3 Oct 2025 at 18:59 - Tender - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/062345-2025 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/064196-2025 10th October 2025 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/063332-2025 8th October 2025 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/062385-2025 6th October 2025 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/062345-2025 3rd October 2025 - Tender notice on Find a Tender ## Notice URLs - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=52434e75-4ea0-f011-813a-005056b64545&p=2241eb95-058a-e511-80f7-000c29c9ba21 - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
