Notice Information

Notice Title

21129 CCC & PCC Individual Service Funds

Notice Description

Individual Service Funds (ISFs) were formally introduced in the Care Act (2014), as an option for commissioning self-directed support. They are a mechanism by which an individual's Personal Budget, agreed by a Social Worker, is held by a third party organisation (i.e. neither by the Local Authority nor the Service User) who is trusted by the client to help them find the care and support they need in the local community, be it access to Day Services, a Personal Assistant (PA), equipment needs, live-in care, social prescribing or signposting to other services and voluntary organisations that will help them achieve their agreed outcomes, or indeed a combination of all of the above. It is a form of Self-Directed Support. ISFs are particularly appropriate when service users do not feel confident enough or have the capacity to manage the financial and employer responsibilities of a Direct Payment on their own but still prefer to exercise personal choice and control over how their agreed care and support needs are met. Please note, the contract value, PS21,600,000, includes VAT. The estimated maximum value of the DPS excluding VAT is PS18,000,000. The DPS is expected to start on 01/08/2022 for an initial period of 3 years, with the option to extend for a further 2 years, making 5 years in total. The first round of the DPS is expected to close on the 06/05/2022 at 12:00
