This procurement falls under the health and social work services category and has a total budget of £100,000. The tender period closes on 23rd October 2018, with the contract expected to commence on 2nd November 2018 and continue until 31st March 2019. The procurement method is open, allowing a range of providers to participate, and the geographical scope includes the United Kingdom and various overseas territories. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses focused on social care, health services, and community support initiatives. Companies specialising in research, consultancy, and outreach services would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract, especially those with experience in identifying young carers and supporting their needs. The project aims to foster collaboration between statutory bodies and voluntary organisations, thereby incentivising businesses that can provide innovative solutions in this sector. ## Notice The Department of Health and Social Care is looking to engage a provider to review, evidence and share best practice in identifying young carers (aged under 18), in order to increase timely identification so that young carers can receive appropriate support from services and the community around them. The identification of young carers is an essential step in ensuring that young carers, and their families, receive the support they need, in particular ensuring that young carers do not have to provide excessive or inappropriate care. This project and its outcomes will support joint working between the statutory and voluntary sectors, and wider communities, as part of developing carer-friendly communities, to achieve better identification and support of young carers. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1f6b025d-2a4f-4c3f-8bd1-4adaf5153fd5 | | 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 | 3 Oct 2018 | | Submission deadline | 23 Oct 2018 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 2 Nov 2018 - 31 Mar 2019 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £100,000 | | 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 | DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH | | Locality | LEEDS | | Post town | Leeds | | Postcode | LS2 7UE | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | | ITL 2 | TLE4 West Yorkshire | | ITL 3 | TLE42 Leeds | | Local authority | Leeds | | Electoral ward | Little London & Woodhouse | | Westminster constituency | Leeds Central and Headingley | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85000000 - Health and social work services ## Release History - 3 Oct 2018 at 08:21 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1f6b025d-2a4f-4c3f-8bd1-4adaf5153fd5 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1f6b025d-2a4f-4c3f-8bd1-4adaf5153fd5 3rd October 2018 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/c685f166-1ffe-47a2-b65c-0add9f6f9b5d n/a - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/a813a4f2-661f-4879-a170-8a3b1d880a9d n/a - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/94f3fa6f-ace1-4db6-8a62-c03bd92b0bd2 n/a - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/6ddb7df8-71da-4e9e-8827-771036a5ed14 n/a - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/027fd869-74f1-4378-842b-d70643f651e4 n/a - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/2bb3f7e2-719c-44ad-b561-3c367fba8527 n/a - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/a273be75-36fd-48be-b61d-beab8747697e n/a - https://dh.bravosolution.co.uk Link to eSourcing Portal ## Notice URLs - http://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/department-of-health-and-social-care ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
