The proposed Framework will include two Lots: Lot 1 - Care Support and Community Outreach This Lot covers personalised care and support delivered in the home or community. Services will help children and young people with disabilities to develop independence, access their community, and maintain their wellbeing, while supporting family stability. The service will include personalised care and community based support, including personal care, delegated health tasks, communication and independence building programmes, behaviour support, community access and, where required, overnight respite. Providers must be able to offer planned, responsive and crisis support across a range of hours. Lot 2 - Specialist Playschemes and Targeted Short Breaks This Lot provides specialist holiday playschemes and targeted short break opportunities for children with substantial or complex needs. These are for children who cannot safely access mainstream provision due to high levels of personal care, complex health needs, autism or behaviour that challenges. Services delivered under this Lot should offer group and community-based activities that support children's social development, independence, wellbeing and enjoyment, while providing families with essential respite. The purpose of the Framework is to deliver consistent, timely, high quality and value for money support, while strengthening family resilience and improving outcomes for children and young people with disabilities. By approving providers onto a single Framework, the Council can quickly match a child's assessed needs with an appropriate supplier, reducing delays and enabling responsive, high quality support across the local area. ## Lots (2) ### Lot 1: Care Support and Community Outreach Service Specification with buddy service - **Lot id:** `1` - **Status:** complete - **CPV codes:** 75200000, 85312000, 85320000, 98000000 - **Delivery regions:** UKJ - **Delivery countries in notice:** GB - **Estimated Value:** £2,250,000 - **Contract Period:** 30/09/2026 to 30/09/2030 - **Renewal published:** yes - **Options published:** yes ### Lot 2: Specialist Playschemes and Targeted Short Breaks - **Lot id:** `2` - **Status:** complete - **CPV codes:** 75200000, 85312000, 85320000, 98000000 - **Delivery regions:** UKJ - **Delivery countries in notice:** GB - **Estimated Value:** £2,250,000 - **Contract Period:** 30/09/2026 to 30/09/2030 - **Renewal published:** yes - **Options published:** yes ## Awards & Winning Suppliers (2) - **Award:** Lot 1 - Care Support and Community Outreach (pending) - Award id: `1` - Supplier(s): **ACTIVE ASSISTANCE, Staff Management Lt, Acorn Care Solutions Ltd (+9 more suppliers)** - Supplier identifiers: `GB-COH:14221328`, `GB-COH:15229070`, `GB-COH:16096690`, `GB-FTS-62804`, `GB-FTS-166512`, `GB-COH:03696019`, `GB-PPON:PHPN-9675-CZZL`, `GB-FTS-161196`, `GB-COH:11909098`, `GB-FTS-144358`, `GB-COH-01366534` - Value: £4,500,000 (exc.
