Description

This service provides support to carers of all ages, ensuring that carers are recognised, valued, and supported around:
Their own health and wellbeing as a priority
Fulfilling their educational and employment potential
Maximising their income
Information and support in case of emergencies
This will be accomplished through a variety of activities including
Early identification of Carers
Emotional and Psychological support for Carers
Awareness raising and collaborative working with key stakeholders (Health, Social Care, Education etc.)
Information, Advice, Guidance and Training
Specialist support for carers who are caring for people with complex needs
A focus on prevention and targeted support for carers who are at risk of Domestic Abuse
Young Carers Assessments for Young Carers (Adult Carer assessments are conducted by an in-house team)
Contingency Planning and Support
Respite Care for Adult Carers
As a result, carers can maintain their caring role for longer, delaying the need for individuals requiring higher cost and longer-term adult social care.  
Following feedback gathered from key stakeholders, service users, and families through the development of the Cambridgeshire & Peterborough Carers Strategy 2023-2026 the following strategic intentions have been formed:
Strategic Intention 1a: Reaching and Identifying Young Carers
Strategic Intention 1b: Reaching and Identifying Parent Carers
Strategic Intention 2: Young Carers are supported when moving into adulthood 
Strategic Intention 3: Supporting Carers at risk of domestic abuse
Strategic Intention 4: Supporting the emotional and psychological wellbeing of carers
Strategic Intention 5: Joint working across health and social care for all Carers
Strategic Intention 6: Ensuring easy access to information  
The successful provider will be expected to assist, where possible, the council to achieve these goals. They will also be an important voice in the creation of a revised strategy during the contracts term
The tender will be divided into the following Lots, with a separate contract for each lot:
Lot 1 - Adult Carers
Lot 2 - Young Carers
The Authority proposes to enter into two Contracts (one for each lot) for a maximum period of 36 months (3 years), and two 12-month extensions options (up to a maximum contract length of 5 years), with the successful Bidders.
The anticipated service commencement date for both lots is 1st August 2025 which may be subject to change dependent on the Authority's governance and requirements.
