In plain English

Barnsley Council is looking for a provider to run an integrated support service for unpaid carers and vulnerable adults aged 18+. The service includes carers support, financial advice, crisis help, and community connection work to help people stay independent and avoid needing expensive care services. This is a five-year contract worth £360,000 per year.

What the buyer wants

• Deliver support services specifically for unpaid carers aged 18 and over, including signposting, advice and crisis intervention • Provide low-level prevention support to vulnerable adults to maintain independence and improve wellbeing • Offer financial advice to carers and coordinate with Adult Social Care, health partners and community organisations • Work in an integrated model across carers support, crisis support, prevention and community navigation services

Likely requirements

Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.

This contract is almost certainly only open to registered charities, voluntary organisations or social enterprises: a standard commercial business or sole trader will almost certainly be rejected. The council is unlikely to accept a new provider with no track record in social care or carers support services.

How to bid

This is an open tender: any eligible business can respond directly to the buyer by the deadline, with no framework membership needed.
