Domiciliary Care & Short Breaks for Children with Disabilities

Kirklees Council are looking into a potential procurement option to put in place future contractual arrangements for suitably qualified and experienced organisations to deliver Support at Home, Support in the Community and Overnight Respite for Children with Disabilities. To support this, we would like to gain information from the market regarding a number of issues related to the potential procurement exercise. Suppliers are therefore invited to consider the programme requirements detailed in this document and complete the attached questionnaire to give us feedback on the proposed approach. It is a Kirklees Council priority to provide the best possible outcomes for all children, young people, and families, especially our most vulnerable children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND). Kirklees invests in a wide range of services that support children, young people, and families with additional needs. This Market Sounding Exercise (MSE) is not an invitation to tender or a request for formal expressions of interest. The Council, as contracting authority, is issuing this request for information only, in order to assess the reaction of the market and thus make any potential procurement process more focused and efficient. Response deadline 12 noon 9th December 2024.
