Health Service Executive (HSE)

## Summary The Health Service Executive (HSE) is procuring a registered residential respite service for children with disabilities in the Dublin and North East Regional Health Area. The contract requires the provision and operation of a 5-bed house meeting specific HIQA standards and accessibility requirements.

## Scope & Deliverables - Provision of a 5-bed residential respite house for children aged 5–18 eligible for CDNT services. - Service must operate 7 nights per week. - Facility must include at least one single-occupancy apartment adjoining the house. - Must include one wheelchair-accessible bedroom within the 5-bed requirement. - Provider must register the house with HIQA within 4 months of contract agreement. - Location must be convenient for IHA DNC or IHA DNCW.
