Tender description
Short breaks are part of a continuum of services which support children in need and their families. They include the provision of day, evening, overnight and weekend activities for the child or young person, and can take place in the child's own home, the home of an approved carer, or in a residential or community setting. The breaks usually have two aims: to enable the child to participate in fun, interesting and safe activities; and to provide a break from caring for the parent / carer. Blackpool Council is seeking suitable providers across a number of lots to deliver a range of short break provision.

About the buyer
Blackpool Council buys as a local authority through its corporate procurement team. Every tender is advertised on The Chest, the North West's e-tendering portal, where suppliers register free of charge. The estimated contract value sets the procurement route the council follows, under the Procurement Act 2023. Larger contracts are split into smaller lots so small and voluntary sector suppliers can compete equally. Supplier days are run to brief and train suppliers before they submit tenders. Healthcare services are commissioned separately under the Provider Selection Regime, with contracting activity summarised each year.
UK local government drives £140bn in annual procurement, led by social protection (£66.6bn) and education (£57.1bn).
Over the past 5 years, most of Blackpool Council's contract awards have been in construction work, repair and maintenance and health and social work.
