This contract aims to support both adult and young carers within the council's jurisdiction via a new digital initiative. The procurement utilised an open procedure under the light-touch regime, and notable is the contract's alignment with the Carers Trust and the council's All-Age Carers Strategy 2025-2030. The procurement process began with planning stages in January 2026 and progressed to an award stage in May 2026, with the contract starting on 1st July 2026. The project is valued grossly at £969,928 and will run until June 2029, with possible extensions until 2031.

The contract's demand for a comprehensive digital-first support service, complemented by in-person and remote engagement, makes it ideally suited for businesses specialising in integrated digital service delivery and community support.
