Tender description

Provision of integrated carers support services in the London Borough of Wandsworth. The Council is tendering a contract for the provision of integrated carers support services for four (4) years commencing from 1 February 2021, with an extension option of up to a further four (4) years. These services support to any adult who provides unpaid care within the boundaries of the London Borough of Wandsworth and who is registered with a Wandsworth GP as this is joint funded through the Better Care Fund. The main aim of these services is to support carers to deliver quality care for their loved ones whilst maintaining their own health and wellbeing. As unpaid carers deliver services that are worth six times the budget of social care, supporting their capacity to keep caring is fundamental to reducing/limiting the demand for social care packages.
