Carers Health and Wellbeing Project

The recent procurement process was undertaken by North Somerset Council, a public authority operating at the sub-central government level in the United Kingdom. The contracting process pertained to the "Carers Health and Wellbeing Project", focusing on strategic advocacy and engagement with carers within North Somerset. The aim was to establish a Carers Forum and produce a feasibility report to enhance sustainability and infrastructure.

The procurement process was direct, classified as below threshold and executed without competition, reflecting a straightforward award process. The project falls under the industry category of health and social work services, located in the UKK12 region. The award stage of the procurement was active as of 23 May 2025, with the contract commencing from 28 April 2025 and concluding on 27 April 2026.

Particularly, large-scale, voluntary sector organisations such as Voluntary Action North Somerset (VANS), which is already actively involved in this contract, could find this procurement particularly beneficial for community engagement and service delivery expansion. The lack of competition in the procurement method indicates that organisations with a strong local presence and expertise in caring services can leverage their capabilities effectively to expand their reach and impact within the community.
