The current contract for the Ealing Carers Support Service ends on 31st March 2022. Ealing tendered for a new Carers Support Service over Summer 2021 and the service will commence on 1st April 2022. Ealing has carried out market engagement and gathered feedback from the market during June/July 2021. Ealing has tendered for a three-year contract with the possibility of a 2 year extension. The annual value of the Carers Support Service is approximately up to £100,000 per annum. Ealing has an estimated 35,000 adult carers providing unpaid, informal care. The Census 2011 indicated that 8.5% of Ealing residents provide unpaid care to a friend, relative or neighbour. Based on national research it is estimated that there may be more than 4,000 young carers aged under 18 in Ealing. Ealing has therefore sought a suitably qualified provider who has experience of delivering vital support services to carers of all ages and carers across all health and social care needs.
