Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council Tender

barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council (the Council), Is Looking To Establish A Light Touch Dynamic Purchasing System (dps) To Procure Provision Of Short Break Activites For Disabled Children And Young People.

a Dps Offers A Flexible And Responsive Approach To Commissioning And Purchasing Which We Believe Would Improve The Existing Arrangements For Short Breaks. The Dps Is A “live” List Of Approved Operators. The Dps Will Be Advertised Via Yortender System, And Providers Can Complete A Simple On-line Application Process Using The Yortender Portal.

all Providers Who Meet And Pass The Exclusion And Selection Criteria Will Be Admitted To The Dps. Successful Operators Will Be Advised That They Are On The Dps. Short Breaks Providers Will Collectively Offer A Range Of Provision For Children From 5 To 17 Years Of Age With A Disability Who Would Benefit From Targeted Group Based Activities. Activities Must Be Adaptable To Suit A Range Of Ages, Abilities, Needs And Interests. Delivery Must Be Within Barnsley And Where Possible Centrally Located To Support Children To Attend Independently If They Wish. Venues And Premises Used For Delivery Must Be Fully Accessible. Families Are Encouraged To Provide Transport To And From Activities, However, Where This Is Not Possible Transport May Be Required.
