This process is currently in the planning stage, with a key engagement end date set for 24 February 2025. The Council seeks innovative break "experiences” for carers across various circumstances in the United Kingdom, specifically in the region of England, aiming to enhance existing traditional offers.
The overall contract value is £96,000. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specializing in health, social work, and recreational services, particularly those capable of providing innovative, person-centred solutions for carers. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) are especially encouraged to participate.
Companies that offer creative and supportive break experiences will find this procurement particularly relevant to their services, providing a chance to contribute to carer wellbeing and broaden their business reach within the community.
Wigan Council recognises the value of unpaid carers and is committed to the ongoing support for carers in their role. The Council currently commissions a wide range of services to support carers in maintaining their own health and wellbeing, reducing the negative impact of the role and enabling carers to live a fulfilled life alongside their caring role. This includes services that enable carers to take a break from their caring role.
The significant benefits of providing carers with a break is well understood. With carers reporting that having a break has a positive impact on their health and wellbeing, ability to cope with their caring role and their levels of isolation. The council is looking to commission a support offer which enables carers to take a break which is person centred and explores innovative break 'experiences' to meet the needs of those with different caring circumstances and enhances the current traditional offer.
