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. ## CPV classification Health and social work services Social work and related services Source Find a Tender (UK) · Notice ocds-h6vhtk-032b83-2022-04-08T09:45:41+01:00 [View official notice](https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/ocds-h6vhtk-032b83-2022-04-08T09:45:41+01:00) Never miss a tender like this again Get AI summaries, deadline alerts and a bid pipeline for tenders matched to your business.
