Description

Achieving for Children is seeking to appoint a provider or providers for the delivery of Aiming High Short Breaks Services across Operational Area 1 - London Borough of Kingston and Richmond.
The Short Breaks care offer for families in Richmond and Kingston has two elements: specialist or assessed support for children and young people with complex needs; and universal or unassessed services.

To be eligible for the universal programme, children and young people must have a diagnosed disability, be aged between 4-17, and live in either Richmond or Kingston borough. Children who are eligible for specialist (assessed) short break care can additionally access the universal programme.

This procurement opportunity requires providers to have building based provision in either/or both Kingston and Richmond Boroughs.

The requirement is divided in Lots and Sub-Lots. Please see the tender documentation for further details.
