## Summary

Surrey County Council, a sub-central government authority located in Reigate, United Kingdom, has completed the procurement of the "Provision of Income Maximisation Service for Unpaid Carers." This contract, awarded on 8th January 2026, falls under the industry category of Health and Social Work Services. It involves guiding carers in accessing financial resources and entitlements to alleviate financial burden. The procurement, characterised by an open competition method within the light-touch regime, was awarded to Surrey Welfare Rights Unit, a large-scale VCSE supplier based in Surrey. The contract period extends from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2028.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses in health and social services seeking to support community welfare frameworks. Companies specialising in financial consultation and support systems for caregivers can leverage this to enhance their service offerings. VCSEs and SMEs with expertise in providing digital tools for service accessibility or consultative guidance are particularly well-suited to compete, as the service seeks diverse methodologies, including online solutions, to support unpaid carers across the region. With a focus on improving the economic wellbeing of carers, this project could serve as a crucial stepping stone for suppliers aiming to expand their services within the public sector.

## Notice

The financial burden of caring is recognised as a priority for unpaid carers and has been widely reported nationally. This service aims to: * Ensure unpaid carers receive the financial support they need to continue their vital role without facing undue financial hardship. * To improve the customer journey and satisfaction with social care interventions and support. The Income Maximisation service will support Carers to identify and access the financial support they are entitled to. By guiding Carers to the financial resources and entitlements available to them, the service will play a crucial role in reducing financial stress for the whole family and enhancing carer economic well-being. The service will provide a well-defined support 'offer', tailored to accommodate the diverse needs of Carers by adapting how advice is delivered. We expect that various methods will be available for Carers to access support, including online solutions to reach more Carers where applicable.
