Financial Wellbeing and Resilience Support for Unpaid Carers

Wokingham Borough Council is soliciting a provider for the Financial Wellbeing and Resilience Support Service for Unpaid Carers, a specialized program designed to assist carers whose responsibilities negatively impact their income, employment, financial stability, or ability to manage household costs. This service is intended to complement and enhance existing commissioned carers services rather than duplicate them, providing a specific financial lens to support the needs of unpaid carers. The provider must collaborate closely with existing services to facilitate mutual referrals, ensuring carers receive comprehensive support across wellbeing, emotional health, and statutory assessments. The contract is estimated to have a total value of 35,000 GBP including VAT, with a performance period running from January 1, 2027, to December 31, 2027. Award decisions will be based entirely on quality, weighted at 100 percent, and evaluated using a scoring matrix that assesses the quality, completeness, relevance, and credibility of the bidder's response. Interested parties must submit their proposals via the ProContract portal by the deadline of December 4, 2026. Mr. Charlie Hinton serves as the primary point of contact for this solicitation.
