Published requirement description

Dorset Council wants all children, young people and their families to thrive. Dorset Council aspires to have a strengths-based approach which focusses on what the child or young person can do with their abilities, their skills and their potential.

Dorset Council therefore seeking Providers that can provide Short Breaks for Children, Young People and Young Adults who are Disabled, focussed on delivering and developing services for 0 – 25 year-olds.

One of Dorset Council’s aspirations is to ensure that there are Short Break opportunities in each locality area during school holidays and Saturdays.

This tender is about putting in place a range of Targeted and Specialist Short Break opportunities throughout the County.

Its anticipated that the Framework will commence for an initial 3 year term on the 1 July 2024 to 30 June 2027 with the options extend annually a further 2 years.

Therefore, if all available extensions were taken the Framework period would be 5 years.

  • Social Value: 5
  • Price: 50
What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 50 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 5 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
  • “Framework for The Provision of Short Breaks for Children and Young…” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 1 suppliers, not a single contract.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
