## Summary

The North Yorkshire Council has awarded a contract for the Carers Break Service under an open procedure tender. The service falls under the Health and social work services category, with a contract value of £2,300,000. The procurement stage was completed, with the contract period running from October 1, 2023, to September 30, 2030, providing opportunities for SMEs and VCSEs in Yorkshire and the Humber.

The Carers Break Service contract by The North Yorkshire Council presents growth opportunities for businesses in the health and social work services sector. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise organisations (VCSEs) are well-suited to compete for providing valuable care and support services to carers in North Yorkshire. The service aims to promote carers' health and well-being by offering breaks from their caring responsibilities, emphasising the importance of supporting carers and enhancing their quality of life.

## Notice

The Carer break service has been established since the mid 1990's and is a key strategic prevention service offered to carers within North Yorkshire. The current service provision is designed as an open access volunteer led carer 'sitting' service. The aims of the new Carer Break Service are broadly aligned with the current service specifications to support and sustain carers in their caring role and promote their health and wellbeing by providing a break from caring. It is clear from feedback that carers see 'Carers Break Services' as a valuable service for them to continue caring and contributes to well-being. The opportunity to volunteer for these services also gives meaningful activity to the volunteers who are often ex carers and can provide the benefit of their experience to current carers.
