## Summary

Shropshire Council has successfully completed the procurement process for a tender titled "CQNV 1478 - The Provision of Specialist Community Based Holiday Club for Children and Young People with SEND." This contract pertains to providing a holiday club for children and young people aged 5-17 with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) in Shropshire. The club operates during school holidays, excluding Telford & Wrekin, under the statutory Short Breaks duty. The award phase was completed on 15th June 2026, with Shropshire Council acting as the buying organisation. The procurement method used was an open competition, and the process adhered to a below-threshold – light-touch regime. The contract duration is six months, commencing on 1st April 2026 and ending on 30th September 2026, with a total value of GBP 49,600. The location for service delivery is primarily in the UKG22 region of the United Kingdom.

This procurement process unlocks significant opportunities for businesses specialising in social work and related services, particularly those that provide tailored services for children with SEND. It is an exemplary chance for large-scale service providers, like Action for Children, who were ultimately awarded the contract, showcasing strong alignment with the required capabilities and values. Enterprises looking to expand in the social services sector, especially those with a focus on community-based programmes during high-demand periods such as school holidays, would find contracts of this nature particularly lucrative. Given the specified lighter touch regime, the tender is well-suited to organisations that excel in quality delivery of social value services. This environment presents a chance for companies to enhance their portfolio and demonstrate their capability to partner effectively with public sector bodies like Shropshire Council.
