Lot Description: This procurement relates to a Carer Respite Service (the Service) as defined by the Carers Scotland Act 2016 which came into effect on 1 April 2018 and is designed to support Carers’ health and wellbeing, helping them to remain in their caring roles and be able to manage their own life alongside their caring responsibilities.
