The tender process, which is open, concluded on 3 October 2018.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in social care and community support services, especially for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs).

Additionally, organisations with a strong outreach and engagement strategy in the South West of England are encouraged to consider this contract to help foster valued collaborations in the community. ## Notice Gloucestershire Carers Support Services 2019-2024 Gloucestershire County Council and Clinical Commissioning Group are commissioning support to allow our unpaid carers to feel valued, empowered and supported to continue caring for as long as they choose. We have two contracts available, one for adult and parent carers, and one for young and young adult carers. Providers may tender for one or both contracts. We are now looking for a visionary provider(s) who shares our aspirations and will work closely with us and other partners to raise the profile of carers across Gloucestershire and improve the support available to them. The Provider (s) will support us to meet our statutory duties to carers, including promoting their wellbeing so that carers are supported to look after their own health, build and maintain their resilience and avoid crisis. The Provider(s) will also need to be innovative and flexible, capable of adapting their approach in a timely manner in response to new national guidance, local changing needs or good practice elsewhere. In order to achieve all of this and build a strong working relationship between us we are pleased to offer the successful provider(s) a five year contract, with an option to extend for (up to) a further two years. Please login to ProContract via www.supplyingthesouthwest.org.uk and register your interest in the opportunity. You will then be issued a Confidentiality Agreement which needs to be completed and sent via ProContract, in order to access the ITT documents. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/fc3984eb-f1d0-4a27-b2ca-0d6064dd2f3d | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Large, SME | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 18 Jan 2019 | | Submission deadline | 3 Oct 2018 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 6 Dec 2018 | | Contract period | 31 Mar 2019 - 31 Mar 2026 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £15,100,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £15,140,000 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | GLOUCESTERSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL | | Locality | GLOUCESTER | | Post town | Gloucester | | Postcode | GL1 2TG | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK7 Gloucestershire and Wiltshire | | ITL 3 | TLK73 Gloucestershire CC | | Local authority | Gloucester | | Electoral ward | Westgate | | Westminster constituency | Gloucester | | Delivery location | TLK South West (England) | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 2 | | Supplier names | GLOUCESTERSHIRE YOUNG CARERS; PEOPLEPLUS GROUP | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 98 - Other community, social and personal services ### Codes - 98000000 - Other community, social and personal services ## Release History - 18 Jan 2019 at 09:46 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/fc3984eb-f1d0-4a27-b2ca-0d6064dd2f3d - 22 Aug 2018 at 13:59 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f07c7926-16f3-4b44-91a2-29a4611fe517 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/fc3984eb-f1d0-4a27-b2ca-0d6064dd2f3d 18th January 2019 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f07c7926-16f3-4b44-91a2-29a4611fe517 22nd August 2018 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - http://www.supplyingthesouthwest.org.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
