CAN (Children with Additional Needs) Short Breaks

Tender description

Trafford Council currently has contracts with organisations to deliver short breaks for children with disabilities across Trafford. This includes activities after school and at weekends and a befriending service. Contracts come to an end in August 2017. We are now looking to commission service to begin delivering on September 1st 2017. To apply for these new opportunities you need first to apply to The Early Help Dynamic Purchasing System. You need to apply under the theme complex and additional needs, one of the six areas covered by the Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS). You can apply for other themes too if you wish. Providers will need to be part of this DPS before being able to bid for short breaks in future competitions. If you have been unsuccessful in the past you are welcome reapply. Trafford Council's current providers are not based in Trafford, so you do not need to be based in, or currently delivering services in, Trafford. We welcome bids from organisations delivering services in Greater Manchester and in neighbouring authorities.
