Summary of the contracting process

The Joseph Rowntree Housing Trust (JRHT), located in York, UK, is seeking to appoint a service provider for its New Lodge Extra Care Housing Scheme through an open and competitive procurement process. The scheme is dedicated to delivering residential nursing care and other supportive services targeting welfare for the elderly under the industry category of social work services with accommodation. The tender, titled "New Lodge Background Support Services," is at the tender stage with a submission deadline of 2nd September 2026. This procurement offers services in a region in the United Kingdom referred to as UKE21 and follows legal frameworks under the UKPGA 2023/54. The procurement, valued at £418,320 in total, will run initially from 1st October 2026 to 30th September 2029, with potential renewal opportunities available for up to two additional years based on the provider's performance.

This tender presents excellent opportunities for businesses in the healthcare and social care sectors, particularly those with expertise in residential nursing and elderly welfare services.

JRHT encourages participation from small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), as well as voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), enhancing opportunities for a diverse range of service providers. Winning this contract could provide the successful provider not only with an established client in JRHT but also a platform to expand their services in New Earswick and its surrounding area, fostering broader business opportunities.

Notice Title

New Lodge Background Support Services

Notice Description

Joseph Rowntree Housing Trust (JRHT) is seeking to appoint a suitably experienced care provider to deliver 24-hour, seven-day-a-week ad hoc and background support services at New Lodge Extra Care Housing Scheme in New Earswick, York. New Lodge is a purpose-built extra care scheme comprising 105 apartments, of which approximately 70% are occupied by tenants and 30% by shared owners. The scheme enables residents to live independently while having access to on-site background and emergency support when required. JRHT currently directly employs staff to provide the background support service and individual planned packages of regulated care. Following a review of its care services, JRHT intends to appoint a third-party provider to deliver specified elements of the background support service. The appointed provider will be required to maintain an on-site presence 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The services include: *immediate response to emergency alarm cords and pendants; *out-of-hours security checks and an on-site overnight presence; *out-of-hours contractor liaison and reporting of emergency repairs; *checks on equipment and alarms within residents' homes; *emergency response and support with evacuation arrangements; *response to out-of-hours main-door activations; *assistance for residents accessing activities and communal areas; *temporary short-term support in response to illness or changes in need; *temporary support to prevent hospital admission or facilitate discharge; and *emergency support where an informal carer is unexpectedly unavailable. JRHT will remain the landlord and will continue to employ staff responsible for its housing and landlord functions. The provider will be expected to work closely with JRHT's on-site staff to support residents' wellbeing and the safe operation of the scheme. Residents will continue to have the right to choose their provider for individual planned packages of care. JRHT would, however, welcome a provider with the capacity to offer planned care directly to residents under separate arrangements where residents choose to use the appointed provider. No volume or value of planned care is guaranteed. The opportunity may also allow the provider to establish wider domiciliary care services in New Earswick and the surrounding area. Any such services would be separate from the contracted background support service. The provider must maintain the registrations, permissions and appropriately trained workforce required to deliver the services, including relevant Care Quality Commission registration. The provider must also maintain appropriate safeguarding, governance, insurance, business continuity and quality assurance arrangements.
