This contract is part of the Children's Services Department's commitment to support children and young people with significant behavioural needs, providing care services primarily across regions UKJ35, UKJ36, and UKJ37 in the United Kingdom. The procurement followed a selective methodology, awarding the contract under an existing framework, with the award dated 15th July 2026.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in health and social care services, particularly those equipped to handle complex behavioural needs.

Such contracts support businesses that can provide specialised, skill-intensive care services, promoting innovation in care methodologies and enhancing the employability and job satisfaction among skilled staff. This creates a vibrant market environment encouraging businesses to develop bespoke, flexible service models that better meet comprehensive care needs, aligning with broader industry shifts towards personalised care solutions.

## 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.
