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.

HAMPSHIRE RESETTLEMENT SUPPORT SERVICE

The service provision will be for refugees who have been resettled under the Afghan Citizens Resettlement Scheme (ACRS) and Afghan Relocations and Assistance Policy (ARAP) programmes, and under the UK Resettlement Scheme (UKRS). The UKRS prioritises people requiring urgent medical treatment, survivors of torture and violence, and women and children at risk. All applicants (including accompanying family members) are subject to the usual immigration checks and screening prior to a visa being granted. The ACRS scheme will prioritise those who have assisted the UK efforts in Afghanistan and stood up for values such as democracy, women’s rights, freedom of speech, and rule of law, and those vulnerable people, including women and girls at risk, and members of minority groups at risk (including ethnic and religious minorities and LGBT+). The ARAP scheme offers Afghan Nationals relocation to the UK who have worked for or alongside the UK Government and Ministry of Defence and meet the ARAP criteria. The objective of the project is to use the ringfenced government grant funding to welcome and support individuals and families entering the UK as refugees under these schemes, for 3-5 years. HCC’s aim is to provide environments which allow the individuals to progress in language, employability and integration into their communities by working in partnership with contracted services, statutory partners, VCSEs and related connections. The project is in partnership with the Home Office to resettle individuals and families in Hampshire, who have been identified by United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and the Ministry of Defence. These individuals are identified for resettlement as there are no other solutions and their lives are in danger in the host country. Those who are accepted under the programme are granted humanitarian protection giving them leave to remain for 3-5 years (scheme dependent) with full recourse to public funds, rights to family reunion comparable to refugees or they are granted indefinite leave to remain on arrival to the UK. They are required to enrol their biometrics in order that an eVisa can be issued. For individuals on the UKRS, if they have not been able to return to their country or origin, they may be eligible to apply for settlement in the UK or their indefinite leave to remain continues (scheme dependent). The project has an agreement with the Home Office for funding each individual settled by HCC according to the Home Office Funding Instructions. The Service Provider of this service must provide a strengths-based and person-centred resettlement and integration support service for eligible individuals (Adult/Child) relocating to Hampshire, under the UK Government Resettlement Programme with a goal to enable individuals to independently live in the UK, develop their skills and access mainstream services themselves. Support will be delivered by the Service Provider in partnership with core services and community groups who are actively involved in the resettlement of refugees into their area. The Service Provider will support the Council to safeguard vulnerable individuals, cultivate cultural awareness and develop independence of the individual during their integration journey. The Service Provider will provide support across all resettlement years of each individual’s stay in the UK, depending on individual need(s) and edibility.
