This public tender, classified under health and social work services (CPV code: 85000000), aims to gather insights from organisations and carers to shape a new service for supporting unpaid carers in Southampton. The initiative involves virtual workshops scheduled for the end of April and early May 2022, focusing on both young and adult carers. Key dates for the workshops are 25th April, 26th April, 4th May, and 12th May, with the consultation expected to inform the future tender that will follow after the planning phase completes on 20th July 2022. This opportunity allows businesses in the social care industry, particularly those specialising in support services for carers, to engage directly with SCC to influence service development. Companies providing training, counselling, or related support services would find this tender particularly relevant. By participating in the workshops, organisations can showcase their expertise and contribute to shaping a meaningful service, ultimately positioning themselves favourably for future procurement opportunities with the council. ## Notice This Market Consultation exercise is in relation to the future Southampton Carer Support Service.
