The Council will be holding a virtual market engagement event on 3rd February 2024 via Microsoft Teams. This tender, classified under CPV code 85000000 for Health and social work services, aims to address the financial burden on unpaid carers as outlined in the Surrey Carers strategy 2021–2024, which has been extended to 2026. The virtual event is designed to share feedback from carers, outline service requirements, provide an indicative procurement timeframe, and answer potential providers' questions. Interested parties must register by 29th January 2025. Further information, including session agenda and meeting invites, will be provided by 30th January 2025. This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in health and social work services, especially those with experience in financial advisory services tailored to carers. Attending the market engagement event could provide valuable insights into the Council’s requirements and the feedback from the initial pilot projects funded by the Carers Innovation Fund 2022-2023. Businesses capable of delivering effective income maximisation support to unpaid carers would be well-suited to compete for this contract. Engaging in this process could not only foster community ties but also establish a foothold in local government contracts. ## Notice Market Engagement Event for Providers - Income Maximisation service for unpaid carers in Surrey LOCATION: Virtual (MS Teams) About the event Surrey County Council seeks to commission an Income Maximisation service for carers and invites potential Providers to join our virtual market engagement session.
