This has now been awarded to multiple Providers. ### Award Ref no: 2025/S 000-020582 Hertfordshire County Council (the 'Council') acting as lead commissioner on behalf of District funding partners wishes to procure a countywide Framework Agreement for a carer breaks service to support and provide respite for carers in Hertfordshire.

The Service Provider must provide services that meet the needs of the individual and are provided by competent staff in a way that supports the safety and security of the person supported. The Services will be responsive, reliable and maintain a person's dignity and respect at all times- be accessible and delivered with understanding and without discrimination.
