This initiative falls within the health and social work services industry category and is located in Birmingham, England. The council is inviting suppliers to partake in a market engagement event set for 10th May 2022, with a deadline for expressions of interest by 9th May 2022. The estimated contract value is potentially £3 million per annum, though this is contingent on funding approval. This procurement offers significant opportunities for businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations, to expand their services in the health and social care sector. The project aims to establish a lead provider model supplemented by a flexible supply chain, which will require a range of capabilities including support for adult carers, well-being assessments, and advocacy services. Companies that can demonstrate adaptability in meeting diverse needs in this environment will be well-positioned to compete for this contract. ## Notice Birmingham City Council (the Council) wishes to invite interested suppliers to a market event on the commissioning of a service for adult carers aged 18 years or more in Birmingham known as Birmingham Carers Hub (Hub). The Hub will be commissioned following a developed carers pathway which includes young carer and mental health carer services.

A consultation document is attached providing more information about the proposed service. The Council is seeking market feedback on the proposed commissioning intentions of Birmingham Carers Hub to help shape the service specification. The estimated value of the contract is potentially PS3m per annum. This is subject to funding approval which is yet to be given.
