Description
This procurement is to establish a pseudo Dynamic Purchasing System/framework to provide (Lot 1) Non Personal and (Lot 2) Personal care via call-offs for individual packages of support for children with disabilities.
Short Breaks for children and young people with special educational needs and/or disabilities, come in many different forms. Short break provision can range from a few hours a week to an allocated number of overnight breaks per year.
Short breaks can include day, evening, overnight and weekend activities and may take place in the child's own home, the home of an approved short break carer, or a residential or community setting.
The provision of short breaks is considered an essential part of the support provided to families of disabled children and young people.
Short breaks are intended to have positive benefits for both disabled children and young people and their parents and carers. Short breaks have a dual purpose:
1. To provide children and young people with special educational needs and/or disabilities, opportunities to enjoy fun social, leisure or educational activities, with or without their parent or carer
2. To provide parents or carers a break from caring, enabling them to have time to undertake whatever they would like to do, such as leisure activities, day-to-day tasks, spending time with other family members or education/training opportunities.
East Riding of Yorkshire Council has a statutory duty under paragraph 6(1)(c) of Schedule 2 to the 1989 Children Act, to provide a range of services which is sufficient to assist carers to continue to provide care or to do so more effectively. In particular, the local authority must provide, as appropriate, a range of -
(a) day-time care in the homes of disabled children or elsewhere,
(b) overnight care in the homes of disabled children or elsewhere.
(c) educational or leisure activities for disabled children outside their homes, and
(d) services available to assist carers in the evenings, at weekends and during the school holidays.
The procurement fall under the Light Touch regime
