Summary of the contracting process

Lancashire County Council has initiated a procurement process for an Extra Care Service facility in Burnley, falling under the social work services industry category (CPV code 85310000). The council aims to address a significant gap in the provision of care services by establishing a facility of 60 or more units, as outlined in the Lancashire Housing with Care and Support Strategy, 2018-2025. The procurement stage is currently in the planning phase, with an engagement end date set for 10th April 2025. The project location is within the North West region of the United Kingdom, specifically targeting the Burnley district. Interested parties are encouraged to provide their feedback and complete a questionnaire by the stated deadline to inform the council of potential market solutions.

This procurement presents significant business opportunities, particularly for SMEs and VCSEs capable of delivering comprehensive care and support services. Businesses specialising in social care, assisted living, and elderly support services stand to benefit from the demand for an estimated 134 extra care units in Burnley. Engaging early in this process allows businesses to shape the tender requirements and ensure compatibility with market offerings. By participating, businesses not only expand their footprint within the public sector but also contribute to addressing a critical community need in Burnley.
