Tender description
PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS A SOFT MARKET TEST ONLY TO ASSIST THE COUNCIL WITH RESEARCH AND PREPARATION AND IS NOT A FORMAL TENDER. THIS MAY LEAD TO A PROCUREMENT OPPORTUNITY IN THE NEAR FUTURE Halton Borough Council is currently considering how to develop its Short Breaks Play Service offer and is testing the market to establish if there are suitable organisations that can provide Play Services to meet the Scope of the Service as outlined below. Short Breaks are a vital support service for families with disabled children, and are well recognised to be a service which helps families with disabled children to lead ‘ordinary lives’. The importance of Short Breaks was reflected first through significant investment under the Aiming High for Disabled Children programme and then through the introduction of new legislation, in particular the Breaks for Carers of Disabled Children Regulations 2011. For further information please see attachment. Keywords: Children, disabled, short break, play
