What the buyer is asking for

Cheshire East Council is recommissioning its support offer for carers across the borough. The service will support adult carers who provide unpaid care and support to family members, friends and neighbours living within Cheshire East. Under the Care Act 2014, the Local Authority has a statutory responsibility to identify, assess need and support carers. The Council recognises the vital contribution unpaid carers make to sustaining families, communities, health services and social care and is committed to ensuring carers are recognised, valued and supported as equal partners in care. The final scope of the procurement will be confirmed following market engagement and completion of the service design process. It is anticipated the contract will include: provision of accessible information, advice and guidance; early identification and engagement; flexible preventative support; promoting wellbeing, training and skills development; peer and community support; digital innovation; co-production; and targeted interventions for carers facing additional barriers or inequalities.
