## Summary

The East Sussex County Council, represented by SE Shared Services, is currently conducting an open tender process for the East Sussex Young Carers Service (ESYCS) under the classification of guidance and counselling services. The tender was published on 3rd May 2019 and has a submission deadline of 5th June 2019. The successful contractor will be expected to deliver countywide services designed to support young carers across East Sussex, with the contract spanning from 1st October 2019 to 31st March 2023.

This tender presents significant opportunities for organisations specialising in social services, community support, or counselling, particularly those that can demonstrate experience in working with young people and vulnerable families. Businesses with the capacity to establish and manage county-wide service delivery are well-suited to compete for this contract, which aims to ensure that young carers' responsibilities do not adversely affect their welfare or development. Collaboration with other local charities and organisations engaged in similar fields may also enhance competitive prospects.

## Notice

East Sussex County Council wishes to identify a provider for East Sussex Young Carers Service (ESYCS). The definition of a young carer used is taken from section 96 of the Children and Families Act (2014); "a person under 18 who provides or intends to provide care for another person (of any age, except where that care is provided for payment, pursuant to a contract or as voluntary work). This relates to care for any family member who is physically or mentally ill, frail elderly, disabled or misuses alcohol or substances". The funding made available for this provision from Children's Services is to deliver the outcome of ensuring young carers caring responsibilities do not impact adversely on their welfare, education or social development. The project will be delivered countywide across East Sussex. The successful contractor will therefore establish a countywide East Sussex Young Carers Service (ESYCS).
