## Summary

The City & County of Swansea is commissioning a Young Carers Service for Swansea. This is a health and social work service designed to identify young carers early and provide timely, proportionate support to them and their families. The provider will deliver assessments, safeguarding oversight, emotional and practical support, respite opportunities, youth clubs and group sessions, one-to-one support, school engagement and awareness-raising. It will also link families with wider partnership support and work with Social Services, Health and Education on data sharing, coordinated support and access to positive childhood opportunities. The intended outcomes are improved wellbeing, education, family resilience and access to childhood opportunities for young carers. The service is delivered in Swansea and is suitable for social care, family support, youth work and community organisations.

The process has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through an open procedure. It covers one lot, with enquiries due by 30 September 2026 at 00:00 and tenders due by 7 October 2026 at 00:00. The evaluation and award decision is scheduled to conclude by 1 December 2026 at 23:59. The contract is planned to run from 1 April 2027 to 30 March 2030, with an option to renew for up to 24 months, to a maximum date of 30 March 2032. The estimated value is £350,000 excluding VAT and £420,000 including VAT. Offers will be assessed on quality, through method statements weighted at 70%, and price weighted at 30%.

This opportunity suits providers with established capability in young carers, children’s and family services, safeguarding, early intervention and prevention. Strong candidates will be able to assess young carers’ needs, manage safeguarding responsibilities and provide emotional, practical and one-to-one support alongside respite, youth groups and wider activities. Experience of engaging schools, raising awareness and helping children maintain education, wellbeing and positive childhood opportunities is directly relevant. The service also requires effective partnership working with Social Services, Health and Education, including coordinated support and appropriate data sharing. Organisations should therefore be able to operate across professional networks and connect families with wider services. The procurement is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises.
