Description

Tenders are invited by the Council from Providers with relevant experience and ability to demonstrate sufficient capacity for the provision of Enhanced digital support offer for unpaid carers in West Yorkshire (the "Services").

Digital support for carers is a cost-effective and accessible way to dramatically increase the numbers of carers accessing information and support, including those from traditionally underrepresented groups and groups that would not access statutory support. The enhanced digital support offer for unpaid carers in West Yorkshire will be funded by the Accelerating Reform Fund and will support the following priorities of the Accelerating Reform Fund:
• Supporting people to have greater control over their care options, such as by using digital tools to self-direct support or communicate needs and preferences
• Ways to better identify unpaid carers in local areas
• Ways to encourage people to recognise themselves as carers and promote access to carer services

The estimated value of the Services to be awarded is approximately £75000 per annum.
The anticipated commencement date for the Contract is May 2024.
The anticipated expiry date for the Contract is 31st March 2026, with the option to extend for a further twelve (12) months subject to funding.
