Disability Cornwall Awarded £11.4m Carers Support Contract

Cornwall Council has awarded Disability Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly a contract worth an estimated £11.38 million to deliver its Core Carers Service across Cornwall.

The countywide, community-based service will coordinate and develop support for unpaid carers, including oversight of the development fund and specialist adviser elements of the carers offer.

The award follows a re-procurement of Lot 1 after it was not awarded during the original procurement because bidders failed to meet the minimum quality and social value thresholds.

Nine tenders were received in the re-procurement, with three assessed at the final stage.

The contract is expected to begin on 1 November 2026 and initially run until 30 June 2029. Extension options could take the agreement through to 30 June 2033, with a maximum total term of six years and eight months.
