## Summary

The Isle of Wight Council has awarded a contract for the provision of Carers Support Service, targeting adults, including young adult carers aged 18 and above. The support extends to individuals providing unpaid care to people on the Isle of Wight. The contract, initiated through an open procurement process and following a "light touch" regime, is valued at a maximum of £195,000 per annum and runs from 1st August 2025 until 31st July 2029, with an extension option of up to 24 months. The service falls under the Health and Social Work Services category, and the main procurement stage has been completed with an active contract status as of 7th January 2026.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for organisations experienced in delivering health and social work services. With a substantial annual budget and long-term potential, businesses, especially those with experience in supporting carers, are well-suited to compete in this sector. Organisations like CARERS ISLE OF WIGHT, which secured the contract, exemplify the type capable of meeting the tender criteria, potentially paving the way for further collaboration and service expansion within the Isle of Wight's community care landscape.
