In plain English
Aberdeen City Council wants one provider to deliver specialist care and support for disabled children and young people from birth to 18 with complex health, physical, learning, communication, sensory or behavioural needs, including autism. Support is tailored to each child's individual assessment, and older children, often teenagers, will mainly need short-break overnight stays and residential care.
What the buyer wants
• Deliver a full integrated specialist support service, from day support to overnight short breaks and residential care, for children with complex needs • Provide trained, vetted staff who can safely meet a wide range of health, developmental and behavioural needs, including autism • Work with the council, families and other services to meet individual outcomes, with strong safeguarding and quality assurance in place
Likely requirements
Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.
A business without Care Inspectorate registration, residential care capacity, a proven track record of delivering complex children's care at scale, and the financial capacity to hold a contract of around £11.5 million would almost certainly be excluded.
How to bid
