The Authority will undertake the procurement for each Category in phases. This notice is in relation to Category 5 Shared Lives.

Estimated Total Aggregate Value across the lifetime of the DPV for Category 5 is £16,521,691.

Shared Lives provides a community-based living option for adults with support needs who seek a more homely and inclusive environment. Adults are matched with approved Shared Lives Carers who share their home and provide personalised care and support tailored to individuals' needs. Shared Livers provides an alternative to traditional care settings, promoting greater independence and social inclusion. The Authority seeks to commission Shared Lives Service(s) offering a flexible and individualised approach to empower individuals with diverse needs who desire a more homely and inclusive living environment. This service will support individuals seeking a family-like living arrangement with integrated care and support. It will also benefit individuals transitioning from institutional settings or those seeking to develop their independent living skills in a supportive environment.

Service specifications for category 5 are not available to view at admission stage, but core information relevant to the service specification is included in 'The Service Brief' document.

This should give providers enough information to decide whether they want to apply for admission to the Supporting Vulnerable Adults DPV - Category 5 Shared Lives.

The procurement is being conducted in accordance with Regulation 74 to 76 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The procurement is subject to the light-touch regime under Section 7 and as such, the Authority is free to establish a procedure, provided that procedure is sufficient to ensure compliance with the principles of transparency and equal treatment of economic operators (providers).

The DPV is open for admission and withdrawal of providers to each category (once launched) and specialism(s) (where applicable) throughout its lifetime. Applications for admission to a category will be assessed in "Rounds" throughout the lifetime of the DPV (further information below).

Providers applying for admission to a category within a Round will be required to complete and meet minimum standards set out within the procurement documentation.

The Estimated Total Aggregate Value for Newham across the lifetime of the DPV is £957,356,593.

The DPV is open for use to other North East London Boroughs.

The Boroughs are: Barking and Dagenham, City of London, Hackney, Havering, Newham, Redbridge, Tower Hamlets, Waltham Forest.
