## Summary

Leeds City Council has completed the procurement process for the "Young Carers Support Service," awarding a contract to Family Action, a supplier based in London. This procurement falls under the industry category of Health and Social Work Services, specifically designed to protect children and young people from harm and support efforts to prevent them from entering the care system. The contract, valued at £1,639,494, commences on 12th May 2026 and is expected to run until 31st March 2030, with a possible extension of up to 24 months. The procurement method was a direct award, justified by the existence of intellectual property rights exclusive to the supplier, making it a unique purchase without an outright tender process.

This tender presents a substantial opportunity for businesses involved in health and social work services, particularly those holding niche expertise or intellectual property in the domain of young carers' welfare. The long-term nature of the contract, combined with its substantial financial value, offers sustained business growth and a chance to establish significant relationships with a major city council. Businesses with capabilities in supporting children and young people or developing innovative care solutions would be particularly well-suited to compete for similar contracts, especially those ready to protect and manage exclusive intellectual property rights crucial to service delivery.

## Notice

The aim of the contract is to protect children and young people from harm and to support efforts to prevent them from entering the care system wherever possible.
