Description

Portsmouth City Council (the 'council') is in the process of preparing for a tender for a Short Breaks Service for children and young people with disabilities.

We currently have 2 separate contracts in place for the delivery of a specialist playscheme and targeted short breaks service, which is currently valued at £215,000 per annum. (£138,000 for the playscheme and £77,000 for the targeted short breaks)
The budget will be combined into 1 contract and remain at £215,000 per annum. Providers will be invited to deliver services within this amount, however there is flexibility over how much the provider allocates to each of the 2 services. The provider will be asked to discuss any budget pressures at the end of each financial year to agree any cost saving activity or funding increases.

The purpose of this engagement is to share with you our draft proposal and ask you to comment on our requirements. Any information a provider shares could be used to assist drafting the final specification.
Engaging providers will not receive preferential treatment in any subsequent tender and all communications before, during and after the pre-procurement engagement will be accurately recorded in writing and made available on request.
Providers should note that there is no obligation to take part in this exercise and that if they do not take part it will not preclude them from any subsequent related procurement process.

Following this consultation process, PCC will consider the appropriate route to market and will conduct a full tender in order to select provider/providers.

Portsmouth City Council and our partners would like to thank you in advance for your help with this request.
