Total Quantity or Scope

Surrey County Council has an established Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for Short Breaks. The Council is commissioning a range of Short Breaks services to support CYP and their families with a wide range of types and levels of need. In preparation for this opportunity, the Council encourage new providers to apply now for this DPS contract, available through the Council's Procurement system. This DPS runs until 31st March 2030. Additional information: Lot 3 of the Short Breaks DPS includes services specifically for children and young people with complex health needs who are unlikely to be able to access other Short Breaks Services. Because a relatively small number of CYP in Surrey have these needs, the volume of provision under this Lot is relatively small. Those CYP require extra support and care when using or accessing Services or activities. Some depend on a technological device to make sure they have the best level of health possible. They may need regular and complex care for substantial parts of the day and night (such as tube feeding, ventilation, catheterisation or suctioning) or they may need a clinical procedure to be carried out in an emergency (such as administering of a rescue medication for a seizure or for anaphylactic shock). Some children and young people with complex health needs also have other impairments or disabilities, such as severe learning disabilities, physical impairments or sensory impairments. We envisage that services under this Lot 3 will accommodate children and young people from across the 0-18 age group, and can include, for example, recreational, social and play activities, outdoor activities, and other experiences. It is anticipated that children and young people accessing these services will need 1:1 or 2:1 support. Please refer to the Service Specification in Proactis (RFX1000193) for more details.
