Summary, notice description and lot information
Lincolnshire County Council, acting as the buyer, has completed the procurement process for the provision of a Shared Lives Service, falling under the social work services industry category (CPV 85310000). This contract is specifically targeted at providing social care in a family-based setting within the Lincolnshire region (UKF3). The tender process followed the legal framework outlined in directive 32014L0024, and the award stage was reached with the contract being finalised on 12th June 2025.
The awarded contract is valued at £25,000,000, with PSS (UK) identified as the successful supplier tasked with delivering the service. This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in social care services, particularly those capable of providing family-based care solutions. Organisations experienced in fostering community-based support systems will find this contract particularly beneficial to bolster their service offerings in the Lincolnshire region.
The successful bidder, PSS (UK), illustrates the suitability of well-established care providers in gaining such contracts. Businesses that can demonstrate a robust framework for supporting adults with care needs in a home-environment setting would likely have competitive advantages in similar future tenders.
Shared Lives is a form of social care which offers people an opportunity to receive their care and support in a family-based environment. In Shared Lives, an adult who needs support, or support and accommodation, is matched with an approved Shared Lives carer, who supports and includes the individual in their family and community life. Support can be in the form of a live in arrangement where the individual shares the Shared Lives carer's home, Shared Days where the carer provides daytime support, or overnight Short Breaks. The Provider is expected to be responsible for providing this service, liaising closely with the Council. Lincolnshire's Shared Lives Service is available to any person aged 16 and over who has been assessed as having eligible care and support needs which may be met through a Shared Lives arrangement.
