39% of Essex County Council’s awards go to a supplier it has used before.

Which is the argument for getting on the list rather than winning this one. The incumbent is rarely the last winner — it is the roster. See the retention odds by category →

The brief

Essex County Council (the Council) is procuring a new support service for informal carers in Essex.

The Council defines a carer as, "A carer is someone who provides support to family or friends who could not manage without this help.

This could be caring for a relative, partner or friend who is ill, frail, disabled or has mental ill-health or substance misuse problems.

All the care they give is unpaid.

A carer can be a young carer (under the age of 18) or an adult carer (over the age of 18)." This engagement is a follow up to the preliminary market engagement the Council conducted in late 2025, and we would like to share an update on our plans for the new service.
