This opportunity, titled "25066 CCC and PCC Individual Service Funds," is categorised under CPV codes 85000000 and 85300000, indicating its focus on social work and related services. The procurement stage is currently in the tender phase, with applications due by 6th April 2026. The contract is set to commence on the 1st of August 2026 and conclude on the 31st of July 2027, with services to be delivered across England, UK. The procurement, valued at £18,000,000, provides an opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) to participate. This tender offers significant growth opportunities for businesses that specialise in care brokerage and support services within the health and social work sector. Providers capable of delivering bespoke care packages or brokering care provided by others will find this tender appealing under the two lots of the ISF Dynamic Purchasing System. Businesses experienced in handling personal budgets, particularly those accredited as trusted organisations, are ideally positioned to compete, as they can leverage their expertise in offering self-directed support to individuals. The requirement for ISF Brokers to assist without holding budget responsibilities allows for expanded client relationships and long-term engagement prospects within Cambridgeshire’s social care framework. ## Notice Cambridgeshire County Council is inviting applications to join our DPS for Individual Service Funds Framework. Cambridgeshire County Council will be able to call-off the DPS. 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 a person's personal budget, agreed by a Social Worker, can be held by a third party organisation (i.e. neither by the County Council nor the person) who is a trusted organisation accredited by the County Council to help the person find the care and support they need in the local community, be it access to Homecare, 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 people 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. Some people who receive a Direct Payment may prefer the support of a local approved ISF Broker who can assist the person with support to plan their activities and care but would not themselves hold the budget responsibility this is why the ISF service requirements include separate clauses relating to: -providers delivering care and brokerage support (Lot 1 of the ISF Dynamic Purchasing System), and -providers brokering care and support delivered by other providers (Lot 2 of the ISF Dynamic Purchasing System).
