## Notice

The London Borough of Camden ('the Council') is seeking to award a contract for the provision of the Direct Payments Independent Living Support service. This service has formerly been commissioned as a Direct Payment Support Service (DPSS), however this new contract will extend its focus beyond Direct Payments and have a greater emphasis on a strength-based approach that maximises opportunities for independent living by promoting community engagement and access to local activities. There will also be an emphasis on building skills for residents as employers and developing the personal assistant offer to increase access to employment for local people. The DPILS service will empower residents to live a healthy, independent life, by taking a strength-based approach with a community focus and will also support the local economy by promoting employment opportunities for personal assistants (PA). The contract will run for seven (7) years, commencing on 1 May 2022 with a break clause at the end of year four (4) with a maximum total budget over the contract period of PS1,933,007. Any Tender with a tender price in excess of this budget of the Contract Term for the service will be rejected. Full details of the service requirements are set out in the Tender Documentation.
