## Summary

The public procurement process, titled "We Care You Care," was initiated by Middlesbrough Council and targets the health and social work services sector. This project focuses on providing online resources for carers in the South Tees area, impacting over 7,000 individuals. The procurement process, classified as an "Exemption" method, has reached the Award stage, with Middlesbrough Voluntary Development Agency (MVDA) appointed as the supplier. This tender, worth £84,938, covers services to be delivered from 1st October 2024 through 30th September 2026 in the North East region of the United Kingdom. The project is crucial for maintaining the support structure for all-age carers in Middlesbrough and Redcar & Cleveland, with key dates for the current phase completed by 10th October 2024.

This tender creates substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in health and social work services, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). The project requires a project officer to be recruited, presenting a chance for growth and collaboration with local councils. Companies with expertise in managing online resources and community support services will find this tender well-suited to their capabilities. Given the project's impact on the community and the extended contract period, businesses can leverage this opportunity for sustained engagement and experience building within the public sector.
