Dorset County Council sought to reopen and expand its Short Break Provider framework, originally established in 2016, to increase the number of suitable service providers offering varied short break opportunities for children, young people, and their carers across Dorset.

The framework was divided into six categories covering specialist overnight residential short breaks, Saturday/after-school/holiday sessions in Weymouth and throughout Dorset, sessional services including befriending and personal assistant support, play and activity sessions, and activity day/evening sessions for older young people.

No bids were received and no award was made.
