The contract, valued at £400,000.00, is set to last for an initial 3 years with the possibility of a 2-year extension. The procurement stage is currently active, with a tender period ending on July 5, 2024, and a contract period scheduled to start on October 1, 2024, and end on September 30, 2029. The service falls under the Health and social work services category and will be delivered in London, United Kingdom. The procurement method is an open procedure (below threshold). This tender for the Carers Support Service by the City of London Corporation presents an opportunity for SMEs and VCSEs to engage in providing tailored and universal services to support carers. Businesses in the health and social work services industry are well-suited to participate in this tender, offering in-person, online, and phone-accessible services to address carers' health and emotional wellbeing. The contract's estimated annual value is £80,000.00, making it an attractive opportunity for businesses looking to contribute to the support and engagement of carers in London. ## Notice The tender process will run below the Light Touch Regime (LTR) Threshold. The contract is requested for 3 Years + up to 2 Years extension. The carers support service will support the delivery of the City of London Carers Strategy 2023 - 2027 and thereby the commitment to support carers in their caring role and ensuring that the impact of caring on their lives is minimised. It helps to deliver the vision that: Carers are identified and supported through the complexities of their caring journey and to deal with the impact caring can have on their own health and wellbeing. The service will meet all five strategy priorities: - Tailored and universal services that work for carers. - The health and emotional wellbeing of carers. - Early identification of carers. - Information and advice for carers. - Engaging with carers. Service delivery will be a mixture of in-person, online, and accessible via the phone, including the retention of the regular weekly pop-in sessions at Golden Lane and Portsoken, potential additional regular sessions, additional 'pop-up' events for special events (e.g. carers week), or promotional activity. The detailed specification has been co-produced with carers and former carers. The estimated contract value given is for the full duration of the contract including the maximum possible extensions. The estimated annual contract value is therefore PS80,000.00) ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7fba3e31-3679-4587-8162-7af4c02630a6 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 4 Jun 2024 | | Submission deadline | 5 Jul 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 30 Sep 2024 - 30 Sep 2029 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £400,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | CITY OF LONDON CORPORATION | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | Central London | | Postcode | EC2P 2EJ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI4 Inner London - East | | ITL 3 | TLI43 Haringey and Islington | | Local authority | Islington | | Electoral ward | Clerkenwell | | Westminster constituency | Islington South and Finsbury | | Delivery location | TLI London | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85000000 - Health and social work services ## Release History - 4 Jun 2024 at 10:05 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7fba3e31-3679-4587-8162-7af4c02630a6 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7fba3e31-3679-4587-8162-7af4c02630a6 4th June 2024 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.capitalesourcing.com Link to eSourcing Portal ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
