Holiday support for disabled children and young people

Tender description

The City of Edinburgh Council (‘The Council’) has funded a school holiday play scheme for children and young people with a disability over the past 20 years. This service offers disabled children and young people the opportunity to take part in a range of fun activities within a structured environment. The Council intends to launch a procurement exercise to engage with the marketplace and put in place long-term contracts (5 years+1+1) to secure the provision of these services for the coming years. We would hope these long-term contracts are in place ready for the summer of 2023. Note - all information contained within this PIN may be subject to change. Requirement The Provider will offer a holiday support scheme. This will be a targeted support service to meet the needs of children with additional support needs and their families and will be carried out in partnership with City of Edinburgh Council. This scheme should run during all school holidays and half-terms apart from Christmas (February, Easter, Summer, October). This PIN is to ascertain the current market and to advertise a pre-engagement event, ahead of launching a 'Call for Competition' in a few weeks time.
