## Summary

Hampshire County Council has completed the procurement process for the provision of Care Support Services for Children with a Disability, specifically catering to those with complex behavioural needs. This initiative, titled "Care Support Services for Children with a Disability - CS26605C - Complex Support (Behavioural Needs)," falls within the health and social work services industry category and is aimed at enhancing the care provided to children and young people with severe disabilities in Winchester, United Kingdom. This contract, awarded on 15th July 2026 to Request Services Limited, will commence on 1st September 2026 and is expected to run until 31st August 2030, with the possibility of extensions up to 2034. The procurement method employed was selective, via an award under framework, indicating a competitive procurement process guided by the UKPGA 2023/54 legal basis.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in health and social care services, particularly those with experience in handling complex behavioural needs in children. Companies that are well-versed in delivering personalised care models and are capable of meeting high standards of training and experience are suitably positioned to benefit from such contracts. By participating in this framework, businesses can expand their portfolio, enhance their service offerings, and establish a strong presence within the public sector. Furthermore, the contract encourages innovation in the delivery of care services, potentially leading to operational growth and increased job satisfaction among staff by facilitating the development of new skills and service delivery approaches.

## Notice

Hampshire County Council Children's Services commissions care support for children and young people with disabilities. The children and young people requiring care support services will include those with severe disabilities such as learning disabilities, physical disabilities, autistic spectrum conditions, behaviour that challenges and complex physical or mental health needs. The Services are part of a holistic support package for the child / young person that meets identified outcomes as part of a Care Plan as agreed by the Council's County Allocation Panel. This Service is part of Hampshire County Council's Children's Services Department's continuum of services which support children and young people with disabilities. Care support is a Tier 4 specialist service, which can be offered to a family following a social care assessment where the Disabled Children's Team criteria has been met and/or an unmet social care need has been identified. This Service aims to facilitate the development of the market to deliver services in new and more personalised ways rather than the conventional delivery of domiciliary care which in turn will enhance the skills of staff, potentially offering greater job satisfaction, in delivering the Service and improving the experience of the Service User. This Notice relates to a call off procedure for Care Support Services for Children with a Disability - Complex Support (Behavioural Needs). This is for children and young people with significant behavioural needs requiring staff with additional training or experience. This does not require 2:1 support but demands high skill, experience and confidence. Any potential value will be awarded through subsequently awarded Individual Service Contracts rather than at this call off stage.
