What the notice says
Kirklees Council is reviewing and developing how children with disabilities are placed with domiciliary/short breaks providers.
We are inviting providers to take part in a market engagement and co production event, to help shape the future service specification and commissioning model for these services.
The event will be held at Huddersfield Town Hall on 29th July 2026 @ 2pm - 4pm
This event forms part of our early market engagement activity and is intended to gather insight from providers to ensure that any future arrangements are deliverable, sustainable, and reflective of current market conditions.
We are particularly keen to engage with:
• Providers currently delivering short breaks (including respite and community-based support)
• Providers of domiciliary care services for children and young people
• Organisations interested in developing or expanding services in this area
