The procurement method is an open procedure with a tender period ending on 6th December 2022. The contract period is set to start on 1st April 2023 and end on 1st April 2028. This tender aims to provide professional support to young carers, facilitating breaks and offering various services to support children and young people with caring responsibilities. This procurement process by the Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council presents an opportunity for businesses, especially those in the health services sector, to provide support services for young carers. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise sector (VCSE) organisations would be well-suited to compete for this contract. The focus on supporting young carers in Stockport creates a chance for businesses to contribute meaningfully to the community while expanding their service offerings. ## Notice The Service supports Young Carers by providing professional support, advice, and assistance to children and young people who have caring responsibilities, and providing advice and guidance to professional staff and parents about the needs and issues in relation to young carers. This includes facilitating breaks for children and young people, with caring responsibilities, from the caring tasks, including offering opportunities for them to partake in activities outside their homes, and by the provision of a weekly activity based group. It also includes a family link worker service, to assess young carers and their families, attend Team Around the Child (TAC) meetings as appropriate, and liaise with outside agencies to ensure that the cared-for young person receives an appropriate package of support. A school support service for primary and secondary schools and colleges raises awareness across all schools/colleges in Stockport to ensure that young carers are identified at the earliest opportunity, through, for example, assemblies and staff training sessions. Workers also support regular 'drop ins' in schools for young carers to access positive activities and peer support. One to one support may be provided for some young carers. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/183f8a93-02af-4ee8-87ea-7712d9311304 | | 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 | 11 Nov 2022 | | Submission deadline | 6 Dec 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Mar 2023 - 1 Apr 2028 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £838,805 | | 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 | STOCKPORT METROPOLITAN BOROUGH COUNCIL | | Locality | SALE | | Post town | Manchester | | Postcode | M33 7ZF | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD3 Greater Manchester | | ITL 3 | TLD34 Greater Manchester South West | | Local authority | Trafford | | Electoral ward | Sale Central | | Westminster constituency | Wythenshawe and Sale East | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85100000 - Health services ## Release History - 11 Nov 2022 at 16:51 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/183f8a93-02af-4ee8-87ea-7712d9311304 - 8 Nov 2022 at 14:08 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/adb0f2b2-ce91-473e-b002-49ef23556602 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/183f8a93-02af-4ee8-87ea-7712d9311304 11th November 2022 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/adb0f2b2-ce91-473e-b002-49ef23556602 8th November 2022 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=99e38984-6d5f-ed11-811b-9f38301b3091 Advert ## Notice URLs - http://www.stockport.gov.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
