Norfolk County Council have awarded a contract to a Provider for Shared Lives Service. Shared Lives is a type of care for people with social care needs who are unable to live independently or may not wish to live alone, and is an alternative to supported living, home care or residential care. Shared Lives Carers offer care and support in their own home. This may take the form of regular visits, short periods of support or the individual who needs care and support may live with a Shared Lives Carer. Shared Lives services have the potential to help Norfolk County Council meet requirements placed on local authorities under the Public Services (Social Value) Act 2012. Shared Lives offers a proven and cost effective way of augmenting the recruitment and retention of care staff elsewhere in the social care system.

Extensions: The Contract may be extended by a further 84 months as follows 36 months + 48 months at the Council’s discretion. The value is the annual expected value for the total duration of the contract including any extension for the full 120 monthsVariant bids: not allowed

Proceedings must be brought within 30 days from the date of knowledge (the date on which the economic operator first knew or ought to have known that grounds for starting the proceedings had arisen) unless the Court considers that there is good reason for extending the period within which proceedings maybe brought, in which case the Court may extend that period up to a maximum of 3 months from the date of knowledge.
