Tender description

Devon County Council and its NHS partners wish to invite organisations, who may be interested in bidding to supply carer support services, to an event to be held in Exeter on 1st March from 9:00 - 13:00. The commissioners are preparing to re-tender the main support services for unpaid adult carers, young carers and some services for parent carers. The services currently provide support to about 20 000 carers in Devon, but the latest census suggests that there are around 84 000 carers living in the county. A Market Warming event has been arranged for 1.3.2017. The event will enable you to find out more about the service and the direction of travel. It will also give you an opportunity to ask questions of the Commissioners of carers services.
