## Summary

The procurement opportunity, titled "Shared Lives," is initiated by Slough Borough Council, primarily dealing with health and social work services. This initiative, part of community-based adult social care, seeks to provide support through Shared Lives Carers in Slough, United Kingdom. The process is currently in the planning stage, with key milestone dates such as the response deadline for the Request for Information (RFI) on 30th June 2026, and a future notice date planned for 5th January 2027. The procurement complies with the legal framework established by the UKPGA 2023/54 and is managed under the "light touch" regime, allowing flexibility in service procurement for local authorities.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those specialising in health and social care services. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly well-suited to engage due to the suitability criteria. The contract period is planned from 1st July 2027 to 30th June 2030, with potential for renewal, providing long-term engagement prospects. By participating in this tender, businesses can deepen their market presence within the regional community care services sector, fostering growth and enhancing service delivery capacities.

## Notice

Shared Lives is a form of community-based adult social care in which individuals receive support from a Shared Lives Carer, either by living in the carer's home on a short-term or long term basis, or through day support and respite arrangements. It is not residential or nursing care in the traditional sense, but offers a personalised, family-style alternative. The Council is seeking the views from the provider market on this future procurement opportunity.
