## Description

In this present instance, ESPO is working on behalf of Leicestershire County Council \(the Council\) to undertake a procurement to refresh the open framework established 1st May 2015 for the delivery of community respite services for carers in Leicestershire\. The service is for eligible \(as assessed by the Council\) Carers who look after a friend or relative who has an illness or disability and where the carer is unable to leave the cared for person\. The Council wishes to refresh the framework to allow new service providers to join who can offer flexible respite care, in which the cared-for person can be supported at home or in the community in order to provide a break for the Carer at a time and in the way which best suits them\. The aim of the Carers Community Respite Service is to make a positive difference to the lives of carers of adults in Leicestershire, and to sustain carers who have complex caring responsibilities due to their personal circumstances and those who they care for\.
