Experience of Children and Young People with Special Educational Needs and / or Disabilities is essential for organisations who wish to deliver support for Children. A thorough understanding of the sensory, emotional and behavioural needs of children who have a diagnosis of ASD, ADHD, GDD and other disabilities is essential. The Flexible Framework is divided into lots based on categories of services/specialisms as follows: - Lot 1 Individualised Support Service - Support to build social skills and access activities in the local area - Lot 2 Personal Domiciliary Care - Personal care provided in the home There is no guarantee of business, including number of hours/levels of work, or duration of care packages to be awarded under the flexible framework. Any work allocated under the framework will be on a spot purchase basis. Demand for this service is unpredictable and can fluctuate between low level support and intensive and challenging packages of care. At the present time the Council provides services for CYP with a range of care and support needs. The equates to c10,000 hours per year but this may increase or decrease. The Council is seeking responsive providers who are committed to working in Blackpool and helping us by picking up packages of care when they are needed. The Council will set the price for service delivery within the terms of the Contract based on an hourly rate for lot 1 and 2. It is anticipated that the contract term will be from 01 February 2025 to 31 March 2026, with the option to extend incrementally for a period of 2 + 2 years (subject to contract review and budget availability).Please note this opportunity is being conducted under the requirements of the Light Touch Regime and therefore we have designed a flexible framework as allowed under the requirements. Any published framework value is an estimate. For the purposes of the procurement exercise we are advertising this as an above threshold tender; however we do not expect the value of all work awarded under the flexible framework across the whole duration to exceed £1.1m. Bidders should note that the level of work awarded under this framework is likely to be lower in value. As an indicator, current level of need across all provision of the type required is c10,000 hours per annum.
