Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, initiated by Karbon Homes, involves the establishment of a framework agreement for principal contractor services under the title "Extra Care Framework". This entails delivering an extra care facility and housing, including specialist 124-bed schemes, in the United Kingdom. The industry category is construction work, and the covered regions are UKE and UKC. The procurement is currently in the tender stage and follows the open procedure method. Key dates include the tender period ending on 17th August 2026 and the anticipated contract period starting on 1st October 2026, with a potential extension up to 2033. The total contract value is projected at £240,000,000 gross.

This tender presents significant opportunities for growth in the construction sector, particularly for businesses specialising in large-scale residential and care facility projects. The multi-supplier framework encourages competition, allowing up to four suppliers to be selected based on quality, social value, and cost, creating ample prospects for businesses to secure a contract. Notably, companies with capacities for both standalone and competitive bids are ideally positioned, as the framework may involve reopening competition for certain tasks. Businesses with experience in public projects or those seeking to expand into the care facilities niche will find this tender particularly promising.
