## Summary

The contract titled "SOL-Carers of All Ages Specialist Support Service 2025" has been awarded by Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council, a sub-central government public authority. This procurement, under an open procedure method, focuses on support services for carers and has progressed to the award stage. The contract, valued at a gross amount of £5,918,400, covers numerous regions across the United Kingdom, including UKC, UKD, UKE, UKF, UKG, UKH, UKI, UKJ, and UKK. It has a start date of 1st December 2025 and is set to end on 30th November 2030, with potential extensions of up to four years. The procurement is part of the light-touch regime and aims to support unpaid carers in managing their roles more effectively.

This award presents significant opportunities for businesses in the health and social work services sector, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations. Companies that specialise in providing support services to carers and have a focus on improving wellbeing would be ideal contenders for such contracts. Since the service allows self-referral and referrals from Adult and Children's Directorates, businesses offering flexible, accessible solutions that enhance social value can leverage these types of contracts to foster growth and expand their service offerings across the United Kingdom.

## Notice

The current service provides support to people who have various needs in respect of their wellbeing to enable them to continue with their role as unpaid carers. This is an open access service that carers can self-refer when they have need. Referrals can also come from the Adult and Children's Directorates.
