WCC - All Age Carer Wellbeing and Support Services

Warwickshire County Council (WCC) currently commissions a Carer Wellbeing services (from age 18yrs) and a young carer support service (from 6yrs+ to 25yrs). Parent carers are currently being supported by WCC's Children with Disability team via a Parent Carer Support Pathway. These services provide support to:

• opromote mental and physical wellbeing,
• oreduce loneliness and isolation,
• oensure carers feel connected
• oEnsure carers can access breaks and respite
• oassist with support and emergency planning,
• opeer support and group activities, 1:1 support, information, signposting and referral support on anything relevant to the carers needs.

We invite discussions on what models we could potentially consider for commissioning that will provide carers with support that is flexible, adaptable and responsive to local needs. Providers can therefore choose to respond to the market testing packs that focus on areas (this could be locality or subject/specialism related) they are interested in delivering and are therefore not expected to complete all parts of the market testing pack

This is not a procurement/tender exercise. Providers are invited to engage with this market testing activity to help inform the commissioning of an All Age Carer wellbeing and support service model in Warwickshire.

Please register via the Council`s e-procurement system - CSW-JETS http://www.csw-jets.co.uk/

CSW-JETS is a sub-regional e-tendering portal run by In-tend. Since February 2010, Coventry; Solihull; Warwickshire; Nuneaton and Bedworth; Rugby alongside other local district Councils have been working together as a shared procurement service. In conjunction with Solihull Community Housing, we have joined together to bring you a collaborative E-Tendering portal.

CSW-JETS enables us to advertise our opportunities across all authorities through the same system. This means that there is a single point of contact for procurement in the sub-region so you only have to register once to receive notifications for all authorities. Registering on the portal will make it easier for local suppliers to find, respond to and be alerted to tender opportunities.

Registration is free, and takes just a few minutes. When complete, you will be able to express interest in any of the Councils'/Authorities' opportunities when they are made available including this tender. In addition, we will be able to access your details whenever we have a requirement, and you may then be invited to tender or quote for work.

Once you are registered and log in to the system you will be able to locate the tender opportunity, express interest and access the documentation.
