The brief

Caerphilly County Borough Council is undertaking preliminary market engagement with suitable providers who are passionate about supporting children with disabilities and their families.

The Council is looking to commission services that offers both outreach and respite support for children aged 5 to 17, who are ordinarily resident in Caerphilly and have substantial and permanent disabilities, life-limiting conditions, or complex health needs.

This service will play a vital role in helping families manage the demands of caring, while also enabling children to thrive through meaningful play, social interaction, and skill development.

Outreach support will focus on helping children build independence and confidence in their communities, while respite will provide essential breaks for unpaid carers.

The Council is seeking suitable service providers who can deliver flexible, child-centred support in a variety of settings—including the child’s home, community venues, and public spaces.

Services must be appropriately registered with Care Inspectorate Wales (CIW) and capable of offering both individual and group-based support, tailored to each child’s needs.

Staff should be trained in communication methods such as PECS and Makaton, and familiar with behavioural approaches like PBS, PACE, and Team Teach.

The ability to work outside standard school hours is essential.

This is an opportunity to work in close partnership with the Council to co-design and deliver services that make a real difference.

We want to collaborate with providers who share our commitment to inclusive, responsive, and empowering support for children and families.

If your organisation is interested in helping shape this provision, please can you provide an expression of interest to procurement@caerphilly.gov.uk and or advise your ability to attend the supplier event planed as outline in this notice The value of this tender will be approx.
