Delivery, management and monitoring of a Young Carers Service across Ynys Mon

The Isle of Anglesey County Council, in partnership with BCUHB, is procuring a county-wide Young Carers Service for individuals aged seven and older across Ynys Mon. The service focuses on early identification, assessment, and tiered interventions to improve wellbeing and reduce inappropriate caring responsibilities, utilizing tools such as the AiDi Young Carers App. The provider must collaborate with schools, health services, and community organizations while adhering to the Social Services and Well-being (Wales) Act 2014, the Welsh Government National Strategy for Unpaid Carers, and Care Inspectorate Wales standards. Performance is measured by strict timelines, including referral responses within five working days and full assessments within 30 working days. The contract is awarded based on the Most Advantageous Tender approach, weighing both quality and cost. The initial term is three years with the option to extend for an additional three years on an annual basis. The estimated value is 360,000 GBP for the initial term, potentially reaching 720,000 GBP over the maximum six-year period, subject to funding availability. Bidders must comply with the Procurement Act 2023, meet Cyber Essentials certification, and adhere to the council's Welsh Language Policy. Prime contractors are required to use a Project Bank Account for payments to sub-contractors.
