Summary of the contracting process

Cornwall Council is conducting a procurement process for the "Extra Care Development Framework" in the construction industry category, aimed at developing new extra care housing schemes throughout strategic locations in Cornwall. The process is in the tender update stage as of 16 September 2025. Tenders are invited from registered providers of affordable housing who can grant nomination rights under the framework. This open procedure framework is significant, with a gross estimated value of £220 million. Key dates include an enquiry period ending on 6 January 2026, a tender submission deadline on 15 January 2026, and a potential start for awarded contracts on 1 May 2026, running through to 31 October 2027, with possible extensions reaching up to 2029.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for growth for construction companies with expertise in affordable housing development. With a focus on quality and social value as well as price in the award criteria, businesses that can deliver high-quality construction with added social benefits are well-suited to compete. The framework is designed to support SMEs and VCSEs, which enhances inclusivity in competition. The potential for long-term engagement, given the possible eight-year framework duration, provides a stable avenue for businesses looking to establish or expand their footprint in the affordable housing market segment across Cornwall.
