The objective of the agreement is to cover the municipality's need for respite services, including respite services on a 24 hour and hourly basis, and during vacations. The services apply to parents of children and youth who due to reduced function have a particular need for respite.
The service supplier is responsible for ensuring that the service adheres to Norwegian laws and regulations, and that the service is otherwise in accordance with the order from the Contracting Authority.
The objective of the agreement is to secure certified quality services for the Contracting Authority in the following groups when the Contracting Authority cannot cover the need with internal resources:
1. Respite services for persons with adjustment difficulties and undesired behaviour in social settings.
2. Respite services for persons with physical disabilities, intellectual disabilities and autism spectrum diagnoses.
