THIS IS NOT A CALL FOR COMPETITION. THIS IS A MARKET ENGAGEMENT. Short breaks are a vital support service for families with disabled children and young people. When making commissioning and funding decisions local authorities must ensure that regard is paid to all the relevant legal duties, in particular the short breaks duty in The Children Act 1989 and the duties in the Breaks for Carers of Disabled Children Regulations 2011. Key legislation and requirements: •Legal Duty: Local authorities must provide breaks designed to meet the needs of carers, and children with a disability including overnight, day-time, weekend, and school holiday services. •Purpose: To enable children to enjoy fun activities while supporting parents to continue caring more effectively. •Target Group: Primarily disabled children and their families, but also includes other "children in need". •Service Types: Activities can range from community-based, like youth clubs, groups activities and excursions, to residential, or in the child's own home. Shropshire Council is undertaking preliminary market engagement to inform and help shape the future commissioning of a Short Break Holiday Club(s) for children and young people with SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities) and/or complex health needs during school holidays. Short breaks services are intended to provide play and leisure opportunities for children and young people aged from 5 years old until their 18th birthday whose needs cannot be met within mainstream provision. For many years the council has been working in partnership with established providers of children’s services and third sector organisations, however, we are keen to explore with the market alternatives to this, which includes working with schools, academy’s and Trusts, and would be keen to explore new and creative delivery models, including partnerships and consortium arrangements. This procurement is suitable for participation by schools, academies, and trusts.

The Council would like to invite suitably experienced and qualified consultants to undertake an update to the Housing Needs and Economic Development Needs Assessment (HEDNA) and Employment Land Review (ELR) for the Borough in accordance with the latest National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) and associated Planning Practice Guidance (PPG) published by the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG). This will form an integral part of the evidence base used to underpin new housing-and employment related policies in the new Local Plan. The Borough Council has been preparing a local plan since 2021. The emerging Local Plan (2020-2040) has been examined and is soon to be considered for adoption. The transitional provisions of the December 2024 National Planning Policy Framework (“NPPF”) (paragraphs 234b & 236 respectively) for Local Plan making, allowed the examination of the Plan to take place using a previous version of the NPPF (the 2023 Framework). In the December 2024 NPPF, the government introduced a new method for calculating local housing need. This increased the housing need figure for the Borough to 551 dwellings per annum (at the time of writing) compared with the emerging Local Plan requirement for 400 dwellings per annum. The Council is required to start an update to the Local Plan from the summer of 2026 and this study will form a key part of the evidence base for the new Local Plan.

It is well recognised and supported by research that there is a strong link between mental and physical health and that both can significantly influence an individual's ability to lead a healthy lifestyle. Being active can improve physical health as well as improving a person's mental health and wellbeing. Having good mental health and wellbeing can improve a person's quality of life through helping to manage everyday stress and improve mood and motivation. Physical activity can improve self-esteem, reduce your risk of developing long term conditions, help manage certain long-term conditions and help with maintaining a healthy weight. There is a well-established link between diet and physical health, especially for diseases such as type 2 diabetes, coronary heart disease and some cancers. The relationship between mental health and diet is also important to help people make informed decisions and increasing awareness of the potential for poor nutrition to be a factor in stimulating or maintaining poor mental health.
