What the notice says

Kirklees Council is looking into a potential procurement option to put in place future contractual arrangements for suitably qualified and experienced organisations to provide for a Young Carers and Young Adult Carers Support Service in Kirklees that will form part of the contract with Kirklees Council (the Council). To support this, we would like to gain information from the market regarding a number of issues related to the potential procurement exercise. Suppliers are therefore invited to consider the programme requirements detailed in this document and complete the attached questionnaire to give us feedback on the proposed approach. This Market Sounding Exercise (MSE) is not an invitation to tender or a request for formal expressions of interest. The Council, as contracting authority, is issuing this request for information only, in order to assess the reaction of the market and thus make any potential procurement process more focused and efficient. The new contract will commence on 1st April 2027 to 31st March 2030, with the option to extend for 2 years to 31st March 2032.
