Under the legislation is called the Children and Families Act 2014 and the Care Act 2014 Local Authorities must assess whether young carers have support needs and take 'reasonable steps' to identify and try to provide for those support needs. The level of care is defined as providing regular and ongoing care and emotional support to a family member who is physically or mentally ill, disabled or misuses substances. The range and scale of caring varies greatly. It can involve lots of physical care including personal care, giving medication, and helping someone to dress or move around. It can be looking after siblings, paying bills, cooking, cleaning, shopping, or translating. Some young carers give no physical care but provide emotional support, particularly for someone who has a mental health condition or misuses substances. The Council wish to commission a Provider to process referrals from its 'front door' using its young carer assessment process and toolkit and identify appropriate support for individual young carers in Northumberland. Further details of the Contracting Authority's requirements under the Contract and other relevant information are detailed in the Specification at Schedule 2. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/392213f1-4d73-4cdb-88ad-febde9320f0c | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 1 Jul 2022 | | Submission deadline | 20 Jun 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 30 Jun 2022 | | Contract period | 31 Jul 2022 - 31 Mar 2025 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £260,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £250,000 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NORTHUMBERLAND COUNTY COUNCIL | | Locality | MORPETH | | Post town | Newcastle upon Tyne | | Postcode | NE61 2EF | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLC North East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLC4 Northumberland, Durham and Tyne & Wear | | ITL 3 | TLC42 Northumberland | | Local authority | Northumberland | | Electoral ward | Morpeth Kirkhill | | Westminster constituency | North Northumberland | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England), TLH East (England), TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England) | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | CARERS NORTHUMBERLAND | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85300000 - Social work and related services ## Release History - 1 Jul 2022 at 14:44 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/392213f1-4d73-4cdb-88ad-febde9320f0c - 23 May 2022 at 10:41 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f5e15dc7-81bf-4b50-8d4f-1b8ceb41a29d ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/392213f1-4d73-4cdb-88ad-febde9320f0c 1st July 2022 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f5e15dc7-81bf-4b50-8d4f-1b8ceb41a29d 23rd May 2022 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - http://www.northumberland.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
