Purpose

The report seeks approval to
award two separate contracts for the provision of adult carers'
support services to the successful bidders:
•               
Lot 1: Adult Carer's Assessment and Health and
Wellbeing Service
•               
Lot 2: Adult Carers' Mental Health Support and
Counselling Service
 
Additionally, there is a
separate Lot 3 for Young Carers and Young Adult Carers Services,
which was procured under the same exercise but decided upon
separately.
 
Together, these services across
the three Lots will support adult, young adult, and young carers
from the Borough of Croydon using a 'whole family approach.' This
approach recognizes the complex relationships where individuals can
be both carers and cared for, introduces the No-Wrong-Door
principles, and ensures a smooth transition for young
carers.
