Description

Leicestershire County Council is undertaking a procurement process to identify and appoint service providers to deliver services with regards to Short Breaks (Play & Leisure) and Domiciliary Care for Children with Disabilities awarded in March 2021. The process to refresh the framework was included in the 2021 Invitation to Tender documents. The purpose of this reopen is to allow additional service providers to join the current list of approved providers.

Lot Division

1 Short Breaks (Play and Leisure)
  • Value: £1M

Short breaks (Play and Leisure) provide opportunities for disabled children and young people to spend time away from their parents and carers, with friends and peers, for positive opportunities. They are intended to promote their positive mental health and emotional well-being. Short Breaks normally occur on a regular and planned basis and should be part of an integrated programme of support which is regularly reviewed. Emergency short break provision will need to be provided from time to time. It is anticipated that all tenderers that meet the quality threshold, described in the ITT document, will be accepted onto this lot. Services will then be called-off as and when required by Leicestershire County Council following the call-off procedure described within the service specification.
2 Domiciliary Care
  • Value: £1M

Domiciliary care is a statutory service that the Council has a duty to provide and it relates to the provision of care and support to children and families in their own home (e.g. personal care, meal preparation, moving and handling, etc.). The service can only be provided following an assessment of need and if certain thresholds are met. This service is not exclusively for disabled children and young people although they make up the vast majority of service users. Two broad areas of domiciliary care include: (i) domestic tasks; and (ii) sitting service. It is anticipated that all tenderers that meet the quality threshold, described in the ITT document, will be accepted onto this lot. Services will then be called off as and when required by Leicestershire County Council following the call-off procedure described within the service specification.

Renewal Options

The framework is currently in place for 1 year, from 1st April 2021 to March 31st 2022. There is an option to extend for a further period or periods up to a total of 3 years taking the contract term to a maximum of 4 years.
