    Brief

    Buckinghamshire Council is reviewing and recommissioning its Children's Short Breaks services for children and young people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND). We are inviting current and potential providers to an engagement session to share our emerging service development proposals and gather your feedback. This is an informal consultation opportunity to test ideas, understand the impact on providers, and shape the future service model. We are particularly interested in hearing from providers who currently deliver community-based short breaks or overnight short breaks for children and young people with SEND. New contractual arrangements are anticipated to start from 1 April 2028. Please note: this engagement activity is developmental and does not constitute a formal procurement process at this stage.
