## Summary

Swindon Borough Council is currently seeking tenders for the "Carer Support Service" aimed at enhancing support for carers in the South West region of the United Kingdom. This tender falls under the services category, with the open procurement method employed. Key dates include the tender period set to conclude on 18th October 2017, with the contract period commencing on 1st January 2018 and running until 31st December 2022. The initiative is designed to support various categories of carers, including young, adult, and parent carers, ensuring continuity of care and reducing risk during critical transition stages.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that provide social care services. Companies specialising in community support, care services, and those with innovative solutions for enhancing the well-being of carers and their dependents would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract.

## Notice

In order to enable more people to live in their own homes and delay the escalation of care needs that present demand on adult social care, Swindon Borough Council is looking to re commission Carers Support in Swindon. The purpose of this contract is to support Carers to enable them to continue to provide unpaid care to family, friends, and neighbours. This will allow people to remain within their own homes and continue to live independently. The tender will be offered as One Lot. By providing a service for Carers aged 5 to end of caring role there is a reduced risk of Carers being unsupported at key transition stages. These are usually seen at key times when carers are transitioning across services: *Young carers *Young adult carers *Parent carers *Adult carers All tender documents are available in the attachments section on the tender advert on the South West Portal available at www.supplyingthesouthwest.org.uk Reference: DN297632
