ASC0294 - Carers Support Service
Authority: Leicester City Council (Local council)
What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionLeicester City Council ('the Authority') invited tenders for the provision of a Carer Support Service for Leicester. The Carers Support Service aims to achieve the following for all carers living or caring for someone that lives in Leicester:
- Support the health and wellbeing of adult carers over the age of 18 (and those young adult carers in transition), and ensure they are helped emotionally and practically, to meet their caring responsibilities and lead fulfilling independent lives.
- Help carers sustain their caring role thereby helping to prevent, reduce and delay the need for more intensive support.
- Educate health and social care organisations in Leicester in relation to the importance of identifying carers early on in their caring journey, promote the various strands of support that are offered by the service in order to prevent carer needs escalating.
The Contract will be for an initial period of 3 years to commence on 1st July 2024, with an option to extend, subject to satisfactory performance outcomes and agreement by the Authority, for a further period, or periods, up to a total of 2 years, taking the contract term to a maximum of 5 years up to 30th June 2029.

The Invitation to Tender document and its appendices and all other documentation issued to Tenderers set out the details of the Authority’s requirements and how to submit Tenders.
