    Brief

    The Short Breaks Service In House Provision seeks to purchase a minibus to support evening, holiday, and Saturday sessions for children with complex needs and disabilities. The service currently operates under a lease arrangement that expires soon; purchasing a vehicle will reduce costs to the council while improving service delivery. Many children using the service experience sensory sensitivities and struggle with public transportation due to auditory, olfactory, and spatial stimuli, which can cause dysregulation and lead to challenging behaviours including absconding, self-harm, and aggression. A dedicated minibus will provide a controlled, safe transport environment tailored to the needs of vulnerable children. Suppliers should note the requirement for a vehicle suitable for transporting children with additional needs, potentially including accessibility features and appropriate safety equipment.
