Summary of the contracting process

Cornwall Council has initiated the tender process for a "Care Home Development Framework," focusing on the creation of new care home accommodations with care and nursing provisions across strategic locations in Cornwall. The procurement falls under construction and health and social work services with a considerable estimated total value of £7.44 billion. The framework is positioned in the active tender stage with an open procurement method and extends opportunities for collaborations involving both developers and care service providers. Key timelines for engagement, enquiry, and submission are set, with the tender period closing on 15 January 2026. The awarded contracts are expected to commence on 1 May 2026, with potential renewal extending up to 2029, offering significant business opportunities during this period.

This procurement opportunity is particularly advantageous for businesses involved in construction, social work, and healthcare services. It encourages collaboration between developers and care service providers, making it an ideal match for companies capable of jointly delivering the requisite infrastructure and care solutions. Small and medium-sized enterprises, as well as voluntary, community and social enterprises, are explicitly encouraged to participate, offering a substantial growth avenue through strategic partnerships. Given its open framework nature, the initiative allows for multiple suppliers, providing extensive opportunities for businesses with the capability to meet the demand in care and nursing facilities to expand their market presence in the Southwest region of the UK.

Notice Title

Care Home Development Framework

Notice 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.
