    Brief

    Kent County Council is seeking a service provider to deliver comprehensive support for unpaid carers in East Kent. This contract consolidates two existing services: the Carers Community Navigation Service and Carers Short Breaks service. The successful provider will deliver eight key service areas: identifying and recognizing carers (including hard-to-reach populations), providing information and advice tailored to carers' needs, promoting prevention and wellbeing (including mental health support), supporting young carers' transition to adulthood, conducting carers assessments, offering carers breaks and emergency breaks, and managing carers personal budgets. This service is based on the Kent Adult Carers Strategy and aims to improve outcomes for unpaid carers across East Kent. This is Lot 1 of the Kent Carers Support Service procurement; Lot 2 was previously awarded under notice 2025/S 000-070631.
