## Summary

The London Borough of Hounslow has awarded contracts for the provision of children’s short breaks to various suppliers, including the BRENTFORD FC COMMUNITY SPORTS TRUST and PARK LANE STABLES RDA, among others. This contract, titled "Contract award for the Provision of Children Short Breaks," falls under the industry category of community services within the UKI region. The procurement method used was an open procedure under a light-touch regime, with the procurement process reaching the contract award stage by 10th April 2026. The contracts are set to commence on 1st May 2026 and primarily cater to disabled children’s needs, offering them additional services that promote social engagement and development. The total value of the awarded contracts reaches £204,000, and the contract period extends until 2030, with opportunities for extension.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses within the community, social, and personal services industry, particularly those favouring inclusivity for SMEs and VCSEs. Given the requirement for short breaks, which range from simple leisure activities to more extended care provisions, companies specialising in leisure, health, and social services would be well-suited to compete. Such services encourage personal development, reducing social isolation among participants, creating an impactful community presence. Businesses with innovative solutions for child engagement could leverage these opportunities to expand their market reach while contributing positively to community well-being.

## Notice

A short break was described as "additional services required to support disabled children and their families; in other words, short breaks are services over and above the universal services expected and available to all families". A short break can be for just a few hours to overnight care or longer and occur across a variety of settings, including the child's home.
