Description

Shared Lives is a form of community-based adult social care in which individuals receive support from a Shared Lives Carer, either by living in the carer's home on a short-term or long term basis, or through day support and respite arrangements. It is not residential or nursing care in the traditional sense, but offers a personalised, family-style alternative. The requirement of publishing a UK 1 Pipeline Notice on Local Authorities is to prepare the market of our intention to go to market. This is an 18 month forward looking plan. Suppliers will be notified of upcoming tenders via the CDP when we issue either a UK 2 Preliminary Market Engagement Notice or a UK 4 Tender Notice during this duration.
