UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Joseph Rowntree Housing Trust is engaging in a public procurement process titled "New Lodge Background Support Services" within the services category, specifically targeting welfare services for the elderly. This initiative is located in New Earswick, York, identified under region UKE21 in the United Kingdom. The procurement is currently at the planning stage, with a pre-market engagement exercise underway to shape the upcoming contract. Interested parties are invited to submit their completed questionnaires by 13th July 2026, with opportunities for clarification until 8th July 2026. The contract period is due to commence on 14th September 2026 and will run until 17th September 2029, with potential renewals extending to 2031.

This tender presents an exciting opportunity for businesses specialising in elderly care and associated services to expand their operations. Companies capable of delivering 24/7 ad hoc and background support services, as well as those with the capacity to run outreach domiciliary care, will find this tender particularly beneficial. The potential for business growth is significant, as the new provider will also have the opportunity to take over existing individual care packages and possibly develop further domiciliary services within New Earswick and beyond. By partnering with the Joseph Rowntree Housing Trust, businesses can not only secure a direct payment model but also enhance their service portfolio in a supportive community setting.

Notice Information

Notice Title

New Lodge Background Support Services

Notice Description

New Lodge Extra Care Housing Scheme is a community set in its own grounds in the garden village of New Earswick, located 2.5 miles north of York's historic city centre. New Lodge was opened by the Joseph Rowntree Trust (JRHT) in 2019, and is a purpose-built set of 105 extra care apartments and a registered care home (Rowntree Lodge). Extra Care schemes allow residents to live independently with the reassurance that staff are on site as required. The requirement of Extra Care schemes include that residents should be able to access background/ad-hoc support 24/7. Any individual resident who wants to have an individual planned package of care can organise this, and residents retain the choice of who provides this care. JRHT wishes to commission a 3rd party care provider who they will pay directly to be based on site 24/7 to provide specific elements of ad hoc/background support. JRHT will pay the new provider directly for this service, which is currently partially funded via collection of a support charge that all residents, regardless of individual needs, contribute to. We would also encourage residents to transfer their current individual planned packages of care, to this new provider if they so wish and we are looking for a new provider who has capacity to take on these packages and enter into new contracts with residents. There is also a commercially beneficial opportunity for the new provider to run an outreach service of domiciliary care to New Earswick and beyond from New Lodge, something which JRHT did historically from the nearby Hartrigg Oaks. For the extra care apartments, JRHT will remain the landlord and have staff presence on site for landlord roles. We would anticipate the new care provider and JRHT will work closely together to prioritise the needs of residents and embrace the ethos of extra care. Once a new provider of ad hoc/background support is appointed, JRHT no longer intends to hold a CQC registration for New Lodge and would expect the new provider to hold this. Please note for individual planned packages of care only, residents have the right of choice and may choose an alternative provider and therefore these hours cannot be guaranteed.
