## Notice

Lincolnshire County Council (LCC) is in the process of re-commissioning and procuring contracts to deliver its commissioned Shared Lives Services when the current arrangements conclude on 31st March 2025. Shared Lives is a form of social care which offers people an opportunity to receive their care and support in a family-based environment. In Shared Lives, an adult who needs support, or support and accommodation, 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 live in arrangement where the individual shares the Shared Lives carer's home, Shared Days where the carer provides daytime support, or overnight Short Breaks. The Provider is expected to be responsible for providing this service, liaising closely with the Council. The service will be available to the whole population of Lincolnshire.
