This procurement falls under the social work and related services category. The contract period is set to start on April 1, 2023, and end on March 31, 2028. The deadline for tender submissions is October 31, 2022. The location of the service is in Coventry, United Kingdom. The procurement method is an open procedure (above threshold), and the opportunity is suitable for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise organisations (VCSEs). This tender for the Young Carers Service by Coventry City Council can provide growth opportunities for businesses in the social work and related services sector. Companies specialising in providing services to support young carers and their families would be well-suited to compete for this contract. The Council is seeking a provider to conduct Young Carers Needs Assessments, raising awareness and providing support to young carers in Coventry. Businesses interested in improving the well-being and outcomes of young carers in the Coventry area should consider participating in this tender process to contribute to the community's social welfare. ## Notice The Coventry Carers Strategy and National Carers Action Plan 2018 heavily focus on the role Young Carers and young adult carers play in the support delivered for adults and siblings. The Care Act 2014 and the Children's and Families Act 2014 enhanced the rights of Young Carers in their access to Young Carers Assessments, moving from an explicit request for an assessment to a duty for the local authority to be actively identifying their Young Carers and offering an assessment of need. There are an estimated 5000 young people providing care in Coventry and although we know that many of these children will not require substantial support throughout their caring role, many do and require ongoing support throughout their childhood to support their caring role. A key role in this is the identification of Young Carers and raising awareness. Coventry City Council is seeking an external provider who will complete the statutory function of Young Carers Needs Assessments on behalf of the Council through a delegated responsibility under Section 17 of the Children Act 1989. It will support the local authority in identifying Young Carers in the Coventry area and provide Young Carers/families with information and advice at an early stage. The outcomes of the services for Young Carers will include: Enjoy good physical and mental health Are safe and protected from harm Enjoy life and achieve their aspirations Make a positive contribution to their community Achieve economic well-being and are prepared for adulthood Additional information: Please register via the Council's e-procurement system - CSW-JETS https://in-tendhost.co.uk/csw-jets CSW-JETS is a sub-regional e-tendering portal run by In-tend.
