## Summary

The Scottish Borders Council has completed the procurement process for the 'Young Carers Service', aimed at providing vital emotional and practical support to young carers up to 18 years of age. This service falls under the general public services industry category and was conducted through an open procedure. The contract is currently active and was signed on 30th March 2017, with a total contract value of £79,947. The service operates in the UKM91 region, specifically Newtown St Boswells, and the contact for procurement queries is available via their email or telephone contact.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses focused on social services and support for young individuals. Companies with expertise in providing care services, particularly those that can offer the emotional and practical support required for young carers, would be well-positioned to compete in future tenders. Given the 'light touch' regulations under the Procurement Reform (Scotland) Act 2014, small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) like Action for Children, who demonstrate the capacity to fulfil such contracts, may find advantageous opportunities for growth in this sector.
