Description

The London Borough of Tower Hamlets is seeking to commission a high-quality Overnight and Related Short Breaks service eligible to children and young people (CYP) with special educational needs and/or disabilities aged 5 to 18 and living in the borough. The commissioning of this service enables the Council to meet its statutory duty under the Children and Families Care Act 2014. The provision contains essential services that enable and support CYP with a disability to live ordinary family lives, to have fun, try new activities, gain independence, and make friends, whilst providing parents and carers with a much-needed respite from their caring responsibilities. Our requirements are split into two lots. Lot 1 - Provision for children and young people with autism spectrum condition (ASC) accompanied by severe learning disabilities and/or behaviour that is challenging. Lot 2 - Provision for children and young people with complex health needs (CN), including those with physical and/ or learning disabilities, those who require palliative care (continuing care) and those with associated sensory impairments. Each provision is to provide the following core services: Overnight weekend short breaks (during school term-time) Day weekend placement Overnight holiday short breaks (during school half-term) and Afterschool clubs The organisations that we are seeking to engage via this Preliminary Market Engagement must have experience of delivering services to disabled CYP and have access to an appropriate Ofsted registered residential setting (s) in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, that is either owned or leased by the service provider for the duration of the contract. The residential provision must have capacity for up to 5 children under each respective Lot. The service will be delivered flexibly, using a person-centred approach, and responding to the changing needs of the family.
