There is insufficient, local overnight Short Breaks across both Shropshire Local Authority area and the borough of Telford and Wrekin. Therefore, both Councils are seeking to jointly commission a Foster Care Short Breaks service.

The successful provider will be awarded a contract from both LAs. There will be an ongoing partnership between the provider and the two Councils regarding service delivery and monitoring of impact and outcomes. The tender is scheduled to be published September 2025. The Short Breaks Regulations set a requirement for Local Authorities to provide a range of respite opportunities available to children and young people with disabilities. The Short Breaks offer aims to support the needs and aspirations of children and young people with disabilities, as well as support parent, carer and family wellbeing. Planned overnight breaks are an essential source of Short Breaks support for families that are eligible, providing a much-needed break for both parent carers, the child/young person and supports family wellbeing. We want to ensure that overnight breaks are a positive experience for the CYP, helping to support their social and emotional development as well as providing them with leisure and opportunity to learn new skills. The Council is seeking a provider that can satisfy the service delivery requirements, Ofsted requirements, and the workforce requirements to deliver a quality and sustainable overnight short breaks provision. It is understood that the successful provider will require time for recruitment and training in the lead up to service delivery, and this will be underpinned via a partnership approach over a long contract period.

Telford & Wrekin Council is seeking a Provider to support the Council to fulfil its duty with regard to the provision of non-instructed advocacy. The service is for eligible people aged 16+ who have been judged to have substantial difficulty or lack the capacity to engage with processes relating to their care, health and support services, or in deprivation of liberty situations, and do not have an appropriate individual (i.e. family member) to represent them. The ultimate goal of the service is to encourage empowerment in order that Individuals rights are secured, help them to make choices, promote the individual's well-being and ensure that their wishes are taken fully into account. In so doing, the service will promote social inclusion, equality and social justice.
