The awarded contract, effective from 1st September 2026, will run until 31st August 2030, with an option for renewal extending up to a total of four additional years. The contract was awarded to Appletree Support Limited with a total value of £630,000, and the procurement stage has been marked as complete, with the award issued on 15th July 2026.

This tender provides a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in health and social work services, especially those with experience in delivering care to children with disabilities and complex behavioural needs. Companies that have a skilled workforce capable of providing personalised and high-skill care services would be well-positioned to benefit from such contracts. The focus on enhancing service delivery and staff skills presents opportunities for businesses to innovate in care provision, potentially leading to growth in market share and service capabilities. The awarded contract, while currently complete, demonstrates the continuing demand for specialist care service providers, suggesting an avenue for future business development in related service areas.

## 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.
