About

West Sussex County Council, working with Surrey County Council, is seeking suppliers to join a reopened framework to provide urgent and specialist personal support placements for children with additional needs and disabilities. The contract covers in-home personal support that helps children and young people achieve the outcomes of their care plans and provides assistance or short breaks to parents and carers so they can maintain their own emotional and physical health and sustain family care. The framework is open to new applications and both local authorities can use it from the commencement date.

Insight

This opportunity is suited to providers of in-home personal support and short-break services for children with additional needs and disabilities who can deliver urgent, specialist placements; key considerations include the need to provide timely, specialist in-home support aligned to care plans and flexibility to work with both West Sussex and Surrey councils.
