## Description
The aim of a short break is to enable personalised and quality informal care and support arrangements to be sustained.
A key element of the short break offer is to support an individual to gain the skills they will need for greater independence. The required short break offer is not simply a passive one of care and support, the expectation is that the Service Provider will build the service on a progression model and actively support independence.
The Council is seeking to develop a long-term strategic partnership with a provider/s.
Although the Council will award the contracts to a single provider or providers, lead provider sub-contracting consortia bids are also welcomed.
The Council is seeking to commission an accessible Short Breaks service that can provide personal care and support for people with a learning disability and/or autism in Eden.
