This tender process is currently in the planning stage, with a key milestone set for engagement completion on 22nd November 2019. The initiative targets the health and social work services industry and is focused on opportunities in the East Midlands region of the United Kingdom. This procurement presents significant opportunities for growth for registered providers of social housing and developers in Northamptonshire, especially those interested in transitioning away from traditional residential care models. The tender is also suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that have the capacity to contribute to the development of care-focused accommodation. Participants in this process may be shortlisted for future tender stages, making engagement in this EOI a strategic move for businesses looking to expand in social housing services. ## Notice The long term strategic objective of Northamptonshire County Council (NCC) is to move away from residential care for older people and younger adults with care needs, and to develop a range of accommodation with care which enables and supports people to live independently in their own homes. However due to the lack of forward planning, schemes have not been developed at the pace required to meet the increasing needs of Northamptonshire residents. There is therefore a significant gap emerging between need, and the availability and standard of supply in the west of Northamptonshire. This Expression of Interest (EOI) forms part of a wider strategic approach the Council is taking to address current gaps. It follows on from our initial market research EOI in which we sought information from a range of commissioners and providers to inform our commissioning approach and an EOI for the north of the county. We are now progressing the next steps aligned to the strategic approach outlined above. Northamptonshire County Council would like to hear from existing Registered Providers of Social Housing in Northamptonshire, new Registered Providers of Social Housing to Northamptonshire and developers who are partnering with Registered Providers who would be interested in providing this type of accommodation in the west of the county. This EOI is published with a Prior Information Notice for Call for Competition. This opportunity will enable Providers to be shortlisted for nomination agreements as per documentation published. Please note that NCC reserves the right to only invite those that have submitted an EOI to any further Tender stage(s). NCC reserves the right to directly award this contract to a single or multiple Providers. This will be dependent on responses to the "Expression of Interest (EOI) Questionnaire". ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5cc10a44-6b1c-465c-a668-5276e03bb8b3 | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 29 Oct 2019 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 22 Nov 2019 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NORTHAMPTONSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL | | Locality | NORTHAMPTON | | Post town | Northampton | | Postcode | NN1 1ED | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLF East Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLF2 Leicestershire, Rutland and Northamptonshire | | ITL 3 | TLF24 West Northamptonshire | | Local authority | West Northamptonshire | | Electoral ward | Castle | | Westminster constituency | Northampton North | | Delivery location | TLF East Midlands (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85000000 - Health and social work services ## Release History - 29 Oct 2019 at 10:13 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5cc10a44-6b1c-465c-a668-5276e03bb8b3 - 28 Oct 2019 at 12:00 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b4a775e9-d67e-4f96-b08f-1b6128ccca13 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5cc10a44-6b1c-465c-a668-5276e03bb8b3 29th October 2019 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b4a775e9-d67e-4f96-b08f-1b6128ccca13 28th October 2019 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=445393d2-6cf6-e911-80fa-005056b64545&p=4d8cb5a5-74dc-e511-810e-000c29c9ba21 Pro Contract Link to NCC Expression of Interest - Extra Care scheme in the West of the County ## Notice URLs - https://www.lgss.co.uk/about/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
