## Summary

Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council has awarded a contract titled "Carers Emergency Service" in the health and social work services category. This procurement process involved a direct procurement method (single tender action below the threshold) and has progressed to the Award stage. The contract, valued at £69,000 GBP, is set to be carried out in the Yorkshire and the Humber region of the United Kingdom. Key dates include the end of the tender period on 31st March 2024, and the contract period running from 1st April 2024 to 31st March 2025.

This tender creates significant opportunities for businesses specialising in domiciliary care services, particularly those capable of providing emergency support for up to 48 hours or 72 hours over a Bank Holiday period. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) are especially well-suited to compete given the suitability criteria. Potential suppliers can benefit from partnering with a large organisation like The Rotherham NHS Foundation Trust, which was awarded the contract, to expand their service offerings and enhance their business growth in the health and social care sector.

## Notice

The provider will provide a domiciliary care service for a period of up to 48 hours (72 over a Bank Holiday period) in cases when substitute care is necessary as a result of any sudden or unplanned event meaning the informal carer cannot provide care and where it would be unsafe to leave the cared for person without support.
