## Summary

The Southampton City Council is currently planning a Market Consultation Exercise for the Future Southampton Carer Support Service, which is classified under health and social work services. The total budget for this project is approximately £1,765,575, and it is intended to span from 1st April 2023 to 31st March 2025. The council has set a future notice date for potential bidders on 20th July 2022, and interested parties are encouraged to stay informed regarding the next steps in this procurement process.

This tender presents an excellent growth opportunity for businesses involved in health and social care services, particularly small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). Companies that specialise in providing support services for carers are particularly well-suited to compete in this consultation, as they can align their offerings with the council's objectives for future service delivery. Engaging in this process can enhance business visibility and facilitate partnerships in the region.
