Description

This is a procurement for an open framework for the development of new care home accommodation with care and nursing provided in a care home setting. In 2023, the Authority published its Supported and Specialist Housing Strategy, Cornwall Supported & Specialist Housing Strategy 2023-2050 which sets out the future demand for services. This procurement tender exercise is for the development of new care home schemes in strategic locations across Cornwall to meet the demand set out in the Specialist and Supported Housing Strategy and Market Position Statement. The Authority is inviting tenders from suitably experienced and qualified developers of care home accommodation and providers of care services to be appointed to the open framework. In order to tender for a place on the Framework, a Supplier must be comprised of a Developer and a Care Services Provider. A Developer may either be the Care Services Provider, or have partnered with a Care Services Provider in order to be eligible for this Procurement. It is the Supplier as a whole that will be appointed to the Framework, not the individual Developer or Care Services Provider in isolation. The NHS Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly Integrated Care Board shall be entitled to access any care services ordered under this Framework. Please refer to the tender documents for further details.
