Market Engagement Event for Providers – Income Maximisation service for unpaid carers in Surrey
LOCATION: Virtual (MS Teams)
About the event
Surrey County Council seeks to commission an Income Maximisation service for carers and invites potential Providers to join our virtual market engagement session.
The purpose of this event will be:
• To share carer feedback and our vision for the Income Maximisation service for unpaid carers in Surrey
• To outline our requirements and the services required in this commission.
• Provide an indicative procurement timeframe.
• Answer any questions you may have.
Our context
The financial burden of caring is recognised as a priority for unpaid carers and has been reported nationally. The Surrey Carers strategy 2021 – 2024 (extended to 2026) set out our commitment to address Income maximisation for unpaid carers in Surrey.

Surrey Carers Strategy 2021 to 2024 (extended to 2026) - Surrey County Council
The Carers Innovation Fund 2022-2023 funded several pilots improving carer access to benefits advice. These one-year pilots delivered excellent outcomes, prompting our decision to commission an Income Maximisation service supporting carers countywide.
Carers have provided valuable feedback which has helped to shape the service delivery model. We will be sharing the carer feedback and model of service during the session.
