Summary of the contracting process

Essex County Council sought a registered provider to develop, own and manage an extra-care housing scheme on a Council-owned site in the Rochford district of Essex. The approved scheme comprises 60 apartments for people with care and support needs, including older people and people with learning disabilities, mental health needs, physical or sensory disabilities, or dementia. The project involves building construction and the long-term operation and management of the accommodation. The selected provider is expected to deliver the housing as a supported living community for these groups.

The procurement is complete and an award was made to Counties & Capital Consulting Ltd. The award is recorded as pending, with a scheduled contract signature by 31 December 2026. The award date was 28 September 2026, and the awarded gross value is £16.5 million. The award records a contract period from 1 January 2027 to 1 January 2032; the tender lot separately gives a works period from 7 July 2026 to 7 July 2028. The procurement used an open procedure. Evaluation weighted technical quality at 50%, price at 30%, social value at 10% and climate criteria at 10%. Price assessment covered rents, service charges and a contribution to land cost. The sole eligibility requirement was registration with the Regulator of Social Housing.

For providers and development partners focused on extra-care housing, this award demonstrates demand from Essex County Council for a combined development, ownership and management model, rather than construction alone. A credible competitor needs to be a registered provider of social housing and demonstrate capability across residential development and construction, ongoing housing management and facilities. The evaluation also valued proposals for using schemes as community hubs, promoting social inclusion, and applying innovative practice and technology. Social value commitments were assessed through the Council’s Themes, Outcomes and Measures framework. Environmental delivery mattered too: the buyer assessed practical measures to reduce construction impacts, manage waste responsibly and achieve energy-efficient building design. The opportunity is therefore suited to organisations able to combine regulated housing provision with delivery capacity and a strong operational, community and environmental offer.
