When this comes round again

Southampton City Council publishes Health & Social Care work continuously — 78 notices, roughly one every 12 days. This is a stream to watch, not a cycle to wait for.

32% of Southampton City Council’s awards go to a supplier it has used before.

Which is the argument for getting on the list rather than winning this one. The incumbent is rarely the last winner — it is the roster. See the retention odds by category →

The brief

Southampton City Council intends to establish a multi provider Short Breaks, Outreach and Support Framework to improve access to high quality services for children and young people with disabilities aged up to 18 years.

The proposed Framework will include two Lots: Lot 1 - Care Support and Community Outreach This Lot covers personalised care and support delivered in the home or community.

Services will help children and young people with disabilities to develop independence, access their community, and maintain their wellbeing, while supporting family stability.

The service will include personalised care and community based support, including personal care, delegated health tasks, communication and independence building programmes, behaviour support, community access and, where required, overnight respite.

Providers must be able to offer planned, responsive and crisis support across a range of hours.

Lot 2 - Specialist Playschemes and Targeted Short Breaks This Lot provides specialist holiday playschemes and targeted short break opportunities for children with substantial or complex needs.

These are for children who cannot safely access mainstream provision due to high levels of personal care, complex health needs, autism or behaviour that challenges.

Services delivered under this Lot should offer group and community-based activities that support children's social development, independence, wellbeing and enjoyment, while providing families with essential respite.

The purpose of the Framework is to deliver consistent, timely, high quality and value for money support, while strengthening family resilience and improving outcomes for children and young people with disabilities.

By approving providers onto a single Framework, the Council can quickly match a child's assessed needs with an appropriate supplier, reducing delays and enabling responsive, high quality support across the local area.
