    Brief

    The London Borough of Waltham Forest is inviting organisations to participate in market engagement discussions to shape the future commissioning of Children's Short Break Services for disabled children and young people. The Council aims to develop a sustainable, flexible, and family-centred service model that fulfills statutory responsibilities while evolving based on the needs and experiences of children, young people, and families. This engagement is part of a broader co-production programme involving children, young people, parent carers, providers, and partner organisations. The Council is seeking market insights on building a strong, diverse, and innovative Short Breaks offer across Waltham Forest. Participation is welcome from existing Short Break providers, specialist SEND providers, voluntary and community sector organisations, social enterprises, leisure and recreation providers, arts and culture organisations, sports and outdoor learning providers, local businesses, community organisations, and new market entrants. This is a preliminary engagement stage to inform future procurement decisions.
