Carers Support Service

The tender process will run below the Light Touch Regime (LTR) Threshold. The contract is requested for 3 Years + up to 2 Years extension.

The carers support service will support the delivery of the City of London Carers Strategy 2023 - 2027 and thereby the commitment to support carers in their caring role and ensuring that the impact of caring on their lives is minimised. It helps to deliver the vision that:

Carers are identified and supported through the complexities of their caring journey and to deal with the impact caring can have on their own health and wellbeing.

The service will meet all five strategy priorities:

Service delivery will be a mixture of in-person, online, and accessible via the phone, including the retention of the regular weekly pop-in sessions at Golden Lane and Portsoken, potential additional regular sessions, additional 'pop-up' events for special events (e.g. carers week), or promotional activity.

The detailed specification has been co-produced with carers and former carers.

The estimated contract value given is for the full duration of the contract including the maximum possible extensions. The estimated annual contract value is therefore £80,000.00)
