    Brief

    Bedford Borough Council is hosting a market engagement event on 23 October 2026 (10am-12pm, online via Teams) to gather provider feedback on the recommissioning of Community Short Break Services for Children and Young People with Disabilities. This event is for organisations currently delivering or interested in delivering community-based short breaks, SEND activities, holiday and leisure provision, weekend and after-school activities, specialist support services, or family support and respite activities. Attendees will learn about the Council's vision for short break services, understand the proposed service model and procurement approach, discuss lot structures and framework arrangements, share feedback on service requirements and outcomes, and explore partnership opportunities.
