Tender description

This is a contract award notice for the appointed bidder to work alongside our existing Carer Support Services to use digital tools to expand our engagement with unpaid adult Carers, parent Carers and young adult Carers in Shropshire. The Service Provider will enable us to reach Carers with appropriate advice and support at a stage before they feel the need to look to statutory services for support and promote resilience. The Service Provider will bring extensive experience of unpaid and family caring, expertise in the professional support of unpaid carers and a range of digital engagement tools and resources. The design of the Service will be as inclusive as possible, recognising that not having a computer and a broadband connection can be a barrier to accessing digital services, and mobile phones are used. The digital systems should be as simple and user-friendly as possible.

About the buyer

Shropshire Council is the local authority responsible for Shropshire, and buys as a local government organisation through its own dedicated procurement team. Smaller value opportunities are advertised through Contracts Finder, where supplier registration is completely free. Larger contracts are instead advertised on Find a Tender, the government's central portal for higher value public sector opportunities. Every current tendering opportunity is also published directly on the council's own website. A published commissioning and procurement strategy sets out how the council approaches buying. Social value is built into every contract the council awards.

UK local government drives £140bn in annual procurement, led by social protection (£66.6bn) and education (£57.1bn).

Over the past 5 years, most of Shropshire Council's contract awards have been in health and social work, food and drink and construction work.
