This initiative falls under the Business and Management Consultancy and related services category, and it aims to enhance practices around respite care for young and adult carers in England. The tender period is set to close on 12th October 2018, with the contract expected to commence on 22nd October 2018 and run until 31st March 2020. The total estimated value of the contract is £70,000, and the procurement method used is an open procedure, allowing a broad range of participants to submit their proposals. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses focused on health and social care consultancy, particularly those experienced in developing support frameworks for young adult carers. Firms with a proven track record in project management and delivery, as well as those possessing strong connections within health settings and local authorities, would be particularly well-suited to compete. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to apply, given their capacity to deliver innovative solutions tailored to the needs of young carers. ## Notice This project will aim to improve the variation in practice around respite care / carers breaks across England, through sharing best practice, increasing availability of choice of quality services to enable carers to take the breaks they need and supporting carers to use personal budgets for breaks/respite. In doing so increase the transparency so carers know what they are entitled to, and ensure greater consistency in what is available. A choice of appropriate and good quality care needs to be available or carers cannot get the breaks they need for their own health and well being.
