## Summary

The Coventry City Council is looking to procure external provider services for the Young Carers Service under the Coventry Carers Strategy and National Carers Action Plan 2018. The procurement falls under the social work and related services category with a contract period from April 1, 2023, to March 31, 2028. The tender, which is in the award stage, had a tender period that ended on October 31, 2022. The procurement method used was an open procedure, and the service is located in Coventry, West Midlands, United Kingdom.

This tender presents a business opportunity for providers of social work and related services, especially those focused on supporting Young Carers. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations suited to deliver Young Carers Needs Assessments are encouraged to participate. The awarded contract, valued at £300,000 GBP, was granted to Carers Trust Heart of England. Businesses interested in helping young carers achieve their aspirations, enjoy good physical and mental health, and contribute positively to their community are ideal candidates to compete for this tender.

## 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
