In plain English

Wakefield Council wants to hire an organisation to give information, advice and support to unpaid adult and young adult carers living in the Wakefield District. The contract starts on 1 April 2027 and runs for two years, with an option to extend it for up to three more years.

What the buyer wants

• Provide information, advice and support to adult and young adult carers living in the Wakefield District. • Deliver the service from 1 April 2027 for two years, to 31 March 2029. • Be ready to continue for up to three further years, to 31 March 2032, if the Council extends the contract.

Requirements

What could rule a small business out: The notice sets out no specific qualifications, certifications or experience requirements, but the contract's size (about £2.69 million for the first two years and £3.92 million including extensions) and the need to support carers across the whole district may be beyond the capacity of a small business.
