This service will be based in a bespoke 4 bedded bungalow owned by a social landlord. The initiative is currently in the planning stage, with key dates including the tender posting set for June 2026, a contract award in December 2026, and the service start in April 2027. Interested parties are invited to meet with the commissioning officer on 20 March 2026, and expressions of interest should be emailed by the close of business on 13 March 2026. This procurement falls under the services category and is classified under CPV code 85000000. This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in health and social care, particularly those experienced in providing short break services for individuals with learning disabilities. The expectation is that the service will operate year-round, with both planned and unplanned short break provisions, offering an excellent chance for growth to providers capable of managing bookings effectively. Organisations with a track record of managing similar services would be well-equipped to compete in this procurement process, creating new partnerships and enhancing their service portfolio within the Moray region. ## Notice Health and Social Care Moray are seeking notes of interest for an Accommodated Short Breaks Service based in Moray for adults with a Learning Disability.
