The Council is keen to work collaboratively with potential providers to help shape the future service model, including: • Access to free and low-cost day trips, leisure activities and community opportunities. • Information, advice and guidance to empower Carers to plan and arrange their own short breaks and activities. Market shaping opportunity (August 2026) As part of the service development process, we would like to invite potential providers to meet with us during August to help shape the service specification and delivery model, provide feedback on the proposed service model, and discuss how they may approach the delivery of this service. Informal discussions will be held on a one-to-one basis with members of the Commissioning Team. Market Engagement Event (September 2026) Following the individual engagement meetings, the Council will hold an online market engagement event via Microsoft Teams on 10th September from 13.30 to 14.30. This session will be open to all interested providers and will include • An overview of the service • Information on the procurement process • Key dates and anticipated timelines • Opportunity to ask questions and seek clarification All information presented and discussed at this event will be captured and published on YorTender for any providers who are unable to attend.
