CCS053 Provision of block contract for children with disabilities overnight short break placements

The Council seeks to commission services from one Service Provider who is OFSTED registered for the supply of overnight short breaks in a single 3-bed residential setting, which shall be within 20 miles of the Derbyshire border, but ideally within Derbyshire's boundaries.

This Service will assist the Council to improve the availability of suitable children's home placements at the right time and right location, delivering the right support for Derbyshire's Children.

Overview of Service Requirement

Derbyshire County Council seeks to commission a residential home which offers high quality care and excellent outcomes for children from age 5 to 18 with disabilities.

There are high numbers of disabled children who require overnight short breaks in a suitably registered and regulated setting, and the existing service offer is not currently meeting the demand.
