## Summary

The procurement process, initiated by Wandsworth Borough Council, concerns the provision of "Short Breaks for Disabled Children," which falls under the welfare services category for children and young people. The procurement took place in London, with a location specific to the UKI34 region. The procurement process has reached the award stage, with contracts being directly awarded, without competition, to Southfields Multi Academy Trust and Enable Leisure and Culture for a duration from 15 June 2026 to 31 March 2028. The award value of the contracts totals £144,254 and £68,168 respectively. Key milestones include a future signature date scheduled for 11 June 2026. This transparency notice signifies an intention for a light-touch regime approach to these below-threshold contracts.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in welfare services for children, especially those interested in providing community-based or specialist sporting activities for disabled youth. Businesses that are SMEs or voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) may find themselves particularly well-positioned to compete, especially those already engaged in service provision to children with disabilities within the United Kingdom. The direct award method indicates a preference for existing, qualified suppliers with a track record of delivering value in similar contexts, signalling that businesses with prior experience in this industry may have an advantage in future related procurement opportunities.

## Notice

Wandsworth Council has a statutory duty to provide short breaks services to children with disabilities. Short breaks provide clubs, activities and support to children with disabilities whilst ensuring that families have some respite whilst their children are being cared for. The short breaks provisions by Southfields MAT (Linden Lodge School) and Enable Culture and Leisure are a key part of the overall short breaks offer in Wandsworth and is highly valued by children and their families. These contracts are below threshold and this transparency notice is signalling the Council's intention to direct award contracts to these two (2) providers for a maximum period of 22 months - from 15 June 2026 to 31 March 2028.
