## Summary

Nottingham City Council procured a young carers service through a call-off from a joint Nottingham City and Nottinghamshire County framework that has since split. The requirement is a health and social work service supporting young carers, with delivery in the East Midlands. The council is the buying organisation and the service falls within the light-touch public service regime. The selected provider is East Midlands Crossroads – Caring for Carers, a Nottingham-based organisation operating as tuvida. This opportunity is relevant to charities, social enterprises and specialist care providers that support children and young people who provide unpaid care, and that can deliver coordinated social support in Nottingham and the surrounding East Midlands area.

The procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. It was a below-threshold direct call-off without competition from the framework, with one completed lot and one active award. East Midlands Crossroads – Caring for Carers was selected as supplier. The contract was signed on 1 May 2026 and runs from 1 May 2026 to 30 September 2027. Its gross value is £166,000. The award covers health and social work services under CPV 85000000. The process used the light-touch regime and was conducted under the Procurement Act 2023. The award is linked to the completed lot for the young carers service. No separate competitive tender or evaluation weighting is recorded for this call-off.

This award shows that Nottingham City Council uses framework call-offs to secure specialist young carers support below the public procurement threshold and without reopening competition. A future competitor would need a credible service model for young carers, with the ability to provide practical, social and welfare support rather than a general adult-care offer. Strong local or regional delivery capability would matter, as would experience working with councils, families, schools and other support services. Relevant organisations are likely to include specialist charities, voluntary-sector providers, social enterprises and established care or community-service operators. The selected provider’s profile indicates that the buyer values an organisation able to deliver a focused carers service at established scale through a formal framework route.
