Shared Lives Service
What is being bought
Lincolnshire County Council is looking for one provider to deliver a countywide Shared Lives Service from the1st April 2025.In Shared Lives, an adult or young person (over 16 years) with social care needs 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 Livein arrangement where the individual shares the Shared Lives Carer’s home, Shared Days where the carer provides daytime support, or overnight Short Breaks. The Council wishes to see growth in the availability and utilisation of Shared Lives arrangements in Lincolnshire, both in terms of the volume of people being supported across arrangements and diversity of need.
Categories
Comparable-procurement analytics
Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 85. The category anchor is Social work services (85310000); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.
| Comparison set | Procedures | Reported bids per procedure | Named award suppliers | Price evidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Market: CPV division 85 | 38,371 | 1 median · 19.7 average (22,930 of 38,371 with a bid count) | 1.8 average (24,591 of 38,371 with named award suppliers) | 10 comparable price pairs |
| Same buyer | 76 | 8 median · 16.7 average (39 of 76 with a bid count) | 7 average (39 of 76 with named award suppliers) | Not published |
“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.
Price-outcome signal
Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.
