Summary of the contracting process

The Liverpool City Council is in the planning stage of a public procurement process titled "Extra Care Services," aimed at appointing qualified providers to deliver high-quality care and support services across five Extra Care Housing schemes within Liverpool. The procurement falls under the health and social work services category and targets the UKD72 region. It utilises an open, competitive flexible procedure as its procurement method. Interested businesses should note that the procurement process began with a preliminary market engagement notice published on 25 June 2026, and an information session held on 1 July 2026. The procurement expects to proceed towards tender submission by 21 August 2026, leading to an award period ending on 17 November 2026. The contract period is expected to start on 1 April 2027 and run through 31 March 2030, with possible extensions considered up to 2033.

This procurement offers significant opportunities for businesses specializing in health and social care services, particularly those with experience in managing Extra Care Housing schemes. The Liverpool City Council's initiative represents a substantial commitment to enhancing adult social care within its community, inviting innovative and efficient service delivery approaches from potential providers. Companies well-suited to compete are those with robust experience in adult social care, proven capability in managing similar large-scale projects, and a strong presence or willingness to establish operations within Liverpool. The opportunity to secure a long-term contract, with the potential for extensions, further enhances the growth prospects for businesses capable of delivering high-quality, reliable care services over the contract’s lifespan.
