Description
The event will be managed by both Camden and Islington Councils' and the aim of the Market Engagement event is to provide and share information to prospective bidders about the needs of young carers and seek to gain important market feedback around potential gaps in provision, proposed barriers to service delivery and potential innovation. Additionally, we also want to receive feedback about our Boroughs joint commissioning approach. It is our aim to award a contract after a competitive tender process in line with PA23 that offers a range of support to young carers in Camden and Islington with good understanding of both the challenges and opportunities in the respective boroughs. The overall service aims are to: • Improve identification and support for Young Carers; • Improve and maintain the health and wellbeing of Young Carers; • Support Young Carers to maximise their learning, educational attainment and access to employment; • Support Young Carers to ensure that their views are heard and taken seriously; and • Increase the skillset and capacity of wider stakeholders working with Young Carers. During the Market Engagement event, we will share information with participants pertaining to the numbers and needs of our children, the prospective types of provision we are considering for the contract and the budget envelope. We would like to understand from providers: -  What barriers and opportunities could there be in commissioning the service  Feedback on the proposed contract set up  Thoughts on the proposed contract price  Participants view of joint commissioning the contracts  Any further aims and objectives the Young Carers contract could include.
