Summary of the contracting process

Northumberland County Council is seeking Registered Providers to design, build and manage extra-care housing schemes across four sites in Northumberland. The locations are Alnwick, Ashington, Blyth and Cramlington; the Ashington lot description also refers to Hunstanton. The requirement combines sheltered housing construction, construction of buildings associated with health services, architectural design and long-term housing and asset management. Each scheme is a separate site-based opportunity, including the former Lindisfarne School site in Alnwick, Hunstanton/Ashington, Delaval Terrace in Blyth and the former St Paul’s Roman Catholic First School in Cramlington. The council is the buyer and expects providers to deliver complete extra-care schemes rather than isolated design or construction services.

The process has reached tender: the council invited offers through an open procedure, using the OPEN E-Procurement platform. It is a concession procedure divided into four lots, each valued at £7.5m, with a stated gross value of £9m; the overall stated value is £30m, with a gross value of £36m. The contract period for every lot is 1 February 2027 to 31 January 2057. Enquiries were due by 9 November 2026 at 12:00, and tender submissions by 20 November 2026 at 12:00. The award decision is due by 18 January 2027. Evaluation allocates 70% to quality, covering design, funding, delivery, occupation, partnerships, tenant engagement, management, inclusion, technology and social value, and 30% to capital funding and lease premium.

This opportunity suits Registered Providers able to take responsibility for both development and operation of extra-care housing over a long-term contract. Strong bidders will need housing and asset-management capability, experience of delivering supported or sheltered accommodation, and the resources to manage design, construction, funding and occupation. The evaluation places substantial emphasis on tenant engagement, community inclusion, collaborative partnerships, social value and technology, so providers should be able to demonstrate these in practical scheme delivery. The requirement also rewards credible lease-premium and capital-funding proposals. All four lots are identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, creating scope for smaller Registered Providers and for specialist firms to participate, potentially alongside partners with complementary construction, design or care-related expertise.
