This opportunity falls under the health and social work services category, with a total contract value of £258,140. The open procurement process can be submitted until 22nd February 2019. The contract will commence on 1st July 2019 and is set to last until 30th June 2022, with the target delivery location specified as South East England. This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses in the social care and health services sector, particularly those focusing on youth support and community services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to apply, as the contract is designed to protect and empower young carers, thereby creating pathways for community-oriented businesses to contribute significantly to social welfare and growth. ## Notice Overview of Contract National Census Data for the Isle of Wight 2011 indicates that there are approximately 700 - 0-18-year olds providing unpaid care. Many receive no support from statutory or voluntary services. Our goal is to extend the reach build resilience and improving life chances for Young Carers. The definition of a Young Carer is taken from Section 96 of the Children and Families Act (2014); "...a person under 18 who provides or intends to provide care for another person (of any age, except where that care is provided for payment, pursuant to a contract or as voluntary work). This relates to care for any family member who is physically or mentally ill, frail elderly, disabled or misuses alcohol or substances". Children in need may be assessed under Section 17 of the Children Act (1989), in relation to their special educational needs, disabilities as a carer, or because they have committed a crime. Where an assessment takes place, it will be carried out by a social worker. When assessing children in need and providing services, specialist assessments may be required and, where possible, should be coordinated so that the child and family experience a coherent process and a single plan of action. The purpose of the contract is to; * protect Young Carers from inappropriate caring, enabling them to have their voices heard, reach their full potential and have the same opportunities as their peers. Considering a whole family view of how Young Carers can be prevented from taking on caring responsibilities and supported to achieve the same level of wellbeing, education and personal development as their peers; * improve the quality of life of all Young Carers regardless of their age, gender, ethnicity and background, for example by enabling them to attend school and engage in social activities. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f23e9bbe-fa0a-4f3c-9fd6-553a181cd567 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 28 Jan 2019 | | Submission deadline | 22 Feb 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 30 Jun 2019 - 30 Jun 2022 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £258,140 | | 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 | ISLE OF WIGHT COUNCIL | | Locality | NEWPORT | | Post town | Portsmouth | | Postcode | PO30 1UD | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ3 Hampshire and Isle of Wight | | ITL 3 | TLJ34 Isle of Wight | | Local authority | Isle of Wight | | Electoral ward | Newport Central | | Westminster constituency | Isle of Wight West | | Delivery location | TLJ South East (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85000000 - Health and social work services ## Release History - 28 Jan 2019 at 16:10 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f23e9bbe-fa0a-4f3c-9fd6-553a181cd567 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f23e9bbe-fa0a-4f3c-9fd6-553a181cd567 28th January 2019 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - http://www.iwight.com ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
