Summary of the contracting process

Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council procured extra care services for Solihull Retirement Village in Shirley. The requirement combines housing management with integrated care and support for residents aged 55 and over. It is a public service contract covering health and social work, social work services with accommodation, and residential nursing care services. Delivery is at the retirement village in Shirley, within Solihull. The council is the buying organisation and the requirement sits within the light-touch regime for public services. The work is therefore relevant to providers of extra care housing management, adult social care, supported accommodation and residential care, particularly organisations able to integrate accommodation-related services with care and support for older residents.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded by direct award to Extra Care Charitable Trust as a single supplier. The award date was 10 February 2026, and the contract was signed on 10 February 2026. The awarded value is £1,821,030 excluding VAT, or £2,185,236 including VAT. The contract runs from 11 February 2026 to 7 February 2029, with extensions available for up to two years, potentially to 7 February 2031, subject to performance. There was one completed lot. The council’s stated rationale was that the scheme is used by Solihull residents, continued nomination rights are beneficial, and exclusive rights mean only the selected supplier can provide the required services. Contract modifications are permitted under the stated legislation.

This award indicates sustained local demand for an integrated extra care operating model rather than a standalone care package. A credible future competitor would need to manage retirement housing while delivering coordinated care and support for people aged 55 and over, including residents requiring accommodation-based social care and residential nursing care. Relevant capability includes safe, person-centred care delivery, housing management, qualified care and nursing staff, safeguarding, regulatory compliance and the operational capacity to run services at a retirement village. Experience of working with a local authority and maintaining effective referral, nomination and placement arrangements would strengthen a competing proposition. The incumbent is a large charitable provider, so organisations of comparable scale, or smaller specialists able to demonstrate equivalent capacity and integrated delivery, would be best placed.
