This procurement process falls under the Health and Social Work Services industry category and will be conducted in the South West region of the United Kingdom. The current stage of the process is at the tender phase, with a deadline for tender responses set for 9th August 2024 at 14:00 hrs UK Local time. Clarifications must be submitted by 31st July 2024 at 12:00 hrs UK Local time. The contract is scheduled to start on 1st January 2025 and is initially for a period of three years with potential extensions up to seven years in total. The estimated total contract value for Lot 1, which covers support services for adult carers, is £3,152,100 including all potential extensions, while Lot 2, for young carers, is valued at £1,173,900. This tender offers considerable opportunities for business growth, especially for service providers in the social care sector. SMEs and VCSEs are particularly well-suited to compete for these contracts due to the council's emphasis on inclusive procurement. Winning either of these contracts can significantly enhance a company's portfolio and local reputation. The open procurement method ensures that the process is competitive and transparent, making it an attractive proposition for businesses aiming to expand their service offerings in the health and social care domain. Companies with experience in guidance, counselling, and welfare services are encouraged to apply. ## Notice Swindon Borough Council invites expressions of interest from suitably qualified and experienced service providers for the provision of services to support adults and young carers in Swindon.
