In plain English

Doncaster Council is setting up a flexible system to buy children's short breaks services for disabled and vulnerable young people. They're open to suppliers across five different service types: one-to-one personal support (both regulated and unregulated), group play and leisure activities, overnight residential care, and home-based personal care.

What the buyer wants

• Provide tailored support services to children and young people with disabilities, ranging from help with daily living tasks (eating, washing, toileting) to community outings and leisure activities • Deliver regulated overnight residential care in OFSTED-registered settings, or personal care in family homes • Run group activities and play sessions after school, weekends, and school holidays to help young people develop skills and socialise with peers

Likely requirements

Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.

This is a complex regulated care contract: you'll almost certainly need OFSTED registration (lots 1, 4, 5), enhanced DBS clearance for all staff, formal safeguarding policies, and significant experience in children's care. Most small tradespeople won't meet these thresholds.

How to bid

This is a Dynamic Purchasing System: an open list of approved suppliers. You can apply to join at any time while it runs, and once accepted you can bid for the individual contracts the buyer runs through it.
