Management and Delivery of Shared Lives Services

Descriptions

The Council is assessing provider interest in the provision of a Shared Lives management and operation service, via a PIN as a call for competition. Shared Lives schemes recruit, assess and support carers who offer accommodation and care and support in their family home to people who are unable to live independently. This notice will be used to gauge market interest and provider expertise in this area and help determine commissioning intentions and explore options. Providers will be required to deliver a service with a minimum of approximately 40 full time carers based within Brighton and Hove, with intentions to grow this cohort and work in partnership with the Council's in-house Shared Lives carers and services. The Council is keen to explore options to expand the service, including a kinship model and working across multiple client groups.
