Shared Lives · UK public procurement notice
Authority: Wolverhampton City Council (Local council)
What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionThe Authority intends to commission a single-supplier framework for Shared Lives management.
The Provider will deliver a Shared Lives Scheme in Wolverhampton that will be provided to individuals assessed as needing care and support under the Care Act 2014 or Children Act 1989, who reside in the City of Wolverhampton. While Shared Lives is primarily
designed for adults aged 18 and over, it can begin working with young people from age 16 as part of transitional planning into adult services.
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 framework will be for two years with plus one, plus one extension options (2 + 1 + 1).
The framework is intended to commence on 1st July 2026.
- The authority expects to re-tender this requirement around 7 Jan 2030, 23:59 GMT.
CPV: Social work and related services

- Price carries 25 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 2.5 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
- “Shared Lives” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 1 suppliers, not a single contract, and call-offs are awarded directly: getting appointed is the whole game.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
