Individual Service Funds (ISFs), whereby a provider holds and manages a personal budget on an individual's behalf, are one of the three main ways a person may choose to deploy their personal budget. This gives a person choice about how their needs are met and how their personal budget is utilised to achieve their outcomes, but without the responsibility of managing the money (as in a direct payment). We want to understand if providers are already able to offer ISFs, or what would help more providers to do this. Please reply to this letter by filling in the questionnaire which accompanies this letter and sending to by 27th November. Some additional information for providers on Individual Service Funds is in the questionnaire Yours faithfully ### Commercial Team Adult Social Care Shared Services ## CPV classification Social work services Source Contracts Finder (UK) [View official notice](https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/notice/41507f43-cc91-47ea-acc8-fa2a684b2ad5) Never miss a tender like this again Get AI summaries, deadline alerts and a bid pipeline for tenders matched to your business.
