## Summary

Derbyshire County Council is establishing an Open Framework under the Procurement Act 2023 to provide specialised services to children with disabilities and their families. The contract, titled "CCS079 Children with Disabilities Short Breaks and Respite Framework," falls under the health and social work services industry. It covers four lots: Community-Based Befriending and Mentoring Services, Overnight Short Breaks, Specialist Group Activities, and Home Care Services. The procurement process follows an open procedure, with the involvement of various suppliers. The framework, starting from 1 May 2026, maintains a flexible structure, allowing for reopening competition based on assessment needs and is set to last up to six years, expiring by 30 April 2032. The procurement process has completed the tender and award stages, with contracts awarded as of 24 July 2026.

This procurement presents vast business opportunities, especially for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and third-sector organisations keen to expand their service portfolios within the health and social care sector. Businesses that specialise in providing care, support services, and activities for children and young people with additional needs would be particularly well-suited for these opportunities. The framework allows for ongoing participation, enabling new providers to join in future pre-scheduled frameworks or update their service offerings, fostering continuous business growth and development. Providers involved can leverage this opportunity to reinforce or establish their presence in Derbyshire and surrounding areas, thus contributing to community welfare while achieving their business objectives.
