## Summary

The most recent procurement process involves Cheshire West and Chester Council seeking a provider for the "Young Carers Service 2026." This contract, completed in May 2026, focuses on identifying and supporting young carers within Ellesmere Port and the wider Cheshire region. It was executed using an open procurement method, suitable for light-touch services and valued at £401,580. The contract was awarded to CHESHIRE YOUNG CARERS LTD, commencing 1st July 2026 with a duration of two years and the possibility for two one-year extensions, culminating in a maximum potential end date of June 2030. This substantial investment highlights the Council's commitment to health and social work services, categorised under CPV 85000000.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in health and social care services, particularly those capable of providing comprehensive support within the community. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and similarly scaled social service providers are particularly well-suited to compete for such contracts, given the scale and nature of the services required. The focus on young carers offers a meaningful chance for providers to impact the community positively while broadening their business portfolio and reputation in the social services industry.
