The award was made on 4th June 2026, under an open procedure complying with the Procurement Act 2023, with a total contract value of £3,116,008. This service is set to commence on 1st October 2026 and aims to provide countywide support for young carers aged 8-25. The procurement process, categorized under "Health and social work services", took place in Gloucester, UK. The contract period extends for five years with an optional extension of up to two additional years, focusing on early identification, personalized support, and improved transition to adulthood.
