What is being bought

Published requirement description

Shared Lives is an arrangement whereby members of the public are recruited and trained by the Provider as self-employed Host Carers to older people 65 years plus, in need of support. Time to care for others is essential and full training and support is provided by the Provider to all Host Carers to enable them to offer this valuable service. Host Carers will share their home, lives, families, interests and experiences in order to support the Service User to live fulfilled lives in the community. Support is provided within a safe and stable home and family life. Time spent with a Host Carer can range from a few hours during the day or evening, during the week or weekends, to a short overnight break or Adult Placements/ Long Term Services hence offering flexible work patterns.

The purpose of this engagement is to inform the market that Health and Social Care Northern Ireland (HSCNI) are planning to procure the provision of a Shared Lives service in Northern Ireland, engage the market, receive feedback from Providers by outlining HSCNIs proposed requirements for the service and gauge the level of interest in the provision of the Service.. The pre tender engagement paper and questionnaire will be available on eTendersNI (https://etendersni.gov.uk) under resource ID 3325671. Potential providers are asked to submit their responses to the questionnaire on eTendersNI by 15:00 on 19th February 2021. Any interest shown in the pre-tender engagement does not constitute a commitment to participate in a procurement exercise.
