Summary of the contracting process

Coventry City Council has completed a public procurement process titled "Housing with Care - Direct Award." This tender falls within the "social work and related services" industry category and involves two contracts aimed at providing independent living support for individuals aged 55 and over. The procurement stage is at the award stage, with key contracts awarded to GreenSquareAccord Limited and The ExtraCare Charitable Trust. The process was carried out as a direct award due to the absence of competition for technical reasons, as outlined in the Procurement Act 2023. Contracts will commence on 1st May 2025 and run until 30th April 2030, with potential extensions up to 2032 based on performance.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses involved in the provision of independent living and care services. The direct award to GreenSquareAccord Limited and The ExtraCare Charitable Trust suggests a significant commitment from Coventry City Council to ensure high-quality care and housing services. Companies that operate integrated housing and care models, particularly those specialising in dementia care and large-scale residential village settings, would find themselves well-suited to participate in similar future opportunities. This procurement underscores the Council's focus on tailored care solutions, creating a conducive environment for businesses capable of delivering innovative and comprehensive support services.

Notice Title

Housing with Care - Direct Award

Notice Description

Housing with Care (HwC) aims to deliver an independent living option for people 55+ who wish to maintain their independence in their own property in a safe, secure, and supported environment. The Council is intending to Direct Award to two suppliers where competition is absent for technical reasons based on the operating model of the providers and the inability to separate out landlord and care provision within the schemes (ie the landlord is also the service provider within the scheme). Contract 1) Arden Grove is a specialist dementia HwC site comprising of 33 beds. Arden Grove is operated by Green Square Accord who deliver both the landlord and care function on site. Contract 2) Earlsdon Park Village is a HwC village owned by Extra Care Charitable Trust consisting of 322 flats, a total of 52 will be made available for nominations for Coventry City Council. ECCT operates both as a landlord and the care provider. Therefore, under the Procurement Act 2023, a Direct Award procedure will be implemented: Regulation 41 - Direct award in special cases (1) If a direct award justification applies, a contracting authority may award a public contract directly- (a) to a supplier that is not an excluded supplier ... (only in line with the Direct Award Justifications set out in Schedule 5): Schedule 5 - Direct Award Justifications: Single Suppliers (6) The following conditions are met in relation to the public contract- (a) due to an absence of competition for technical reasons, only a particular supplier can supply the goods, services or works required, and (b) there are no reasonable alternatives to those goods, services or works.
