This project falls under the construction industry category and includes the redevelopment of a de-commissioned residential care home site covering 0.6 hectares. An important milestone in this process is the engagement end date on 23 October 2024, with a supplier’s meeting scheduled for 5 November 2024, to discuss the feasibility and project scope. The full tender is anticipated to be issued in early December 2024. This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in construction, real estate development, and facility management. It is particularly suited for SMEs and providers experienced in developing and managing housing solutions that cater to older individuals (60+), including those with dementia. The Council is looking to engage suppliers who can handle the development, construction, ownership, and landlord functions of the scheme. Businesses able to navigate the specifics of social and affordable rent models and the freehold/leasehold disposals would be well-positioned to compete effectively for this contract. ## Notice Southampton City Council is seeking interest from suppliers who are interested in developing, constructing, owning and managing (in terms of landlord function) an affordable extra care housing scheme on council owned land, which is to be disposed of for this purpose. The care and support element for residents is planned to be procured separately, and we anticipate this is an arrangement potential providers will be familiar with. The intention of this PIN is to gauge market feasibility and engage with suppliers to review and update project scope and requirements for tender stage. Project Location The proposed site is the site of a de-commissioned residential care home. The site is in Bitterne, on the eastern side of Southampton city, and comprises of 0.6 hectares. The former care home building will require demolishing as part of the redevelopment. Project Scope The extra care scheme being sought is * one for older persons (age requirement likely to be set at 60+) * one which would allow residents to remain in their flats as they grow older and their physical and/or mental health potentially deteriorates * one designed such that people with dementia could remain there (so with a dementia friendly layout and design) as opposed to a specialist dementia care scheme or a scheme containing a dedicated dementia cluster, wing or floor. (A 2022 "Housing with Care Market Position Statement" sets out SCC's future housing with care needs and will be available as part of the Invitation to Tender). Work undertaken to date Council architects have undertaken initial feasibility work, based upon a brief which has been compiled, and obtained some pre-application planning advice in respect of scale and massing, which suggests that the site has the potential to accommodate an extra care scheme of circa 40 units, although final numbers remain subject to Planning and a full consent being obtained. Suppliers meeting The Council intend to hold a supplier's meeting on Tuesday 05th November 2024, time 10:30-12:30am via Teams prior to publishing the tender opportunity, which is expected to be issued in early December tentatively.
