The council aims to address a significant gap in the provision of care services by establishing a facility of 60 or more units, as outlined in the Lancashire Housing with Care and Support Strategy, 2018-2025. The procurement stage is currently in the planning phase, with an engagement end date set for 10th April 2025. The project location is within the North West region of the United Kingdom, specifically targeting the Burnley district. Interested parties are encouraged to provide their feedback and complete a questionnaire by the stated deadline to inform the council of potential market solutions. This procurement presents significant business opportunities, particularly for SMEs and VCSEs capable of delivering comprehensive care and support services. Businesses specialising in social care, assisted living, and elderly support services stand to benefit from the demand for an estimated 134 extra care units in Burnley. Engaging early in this process allows businesses to shape the tender requirements and ensure compatibility with market offerings. By participating, businesses not only expand their footprint within the public sector but also contribute to addressing a critical community need in Burnley. ## Notice The Lancashire Housing with Care and Support Strategy, 2018-2025, highlights the authorities' aim to have at least one Extra Care scheme for older adults in each District equating to approximately 1,000 homes by 2025 together with the importance of further developments in Lancashire. In the strategy, there is an estimated need for 134 extra care units in Burnley. We currently have no extra care units available in Burnley. In seeking to address this, we are requiring an extra care facility in the district of 60 or more units, together with the appropriate care and support, to meet this identified gap. We are therefore enquiring as to what might be available in the market and to be aware of any potential plans. We welcome your views and feedback - Please complete the questionnaire on the link below by Friday 10th April 2025. https://forms.office.com/e/jCyxfdUyUr ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/fb41b839-5ed1-4d75-a0bd-e838aee1bde0 | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 27 Mar 2025 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 10 Apr 2025 | | 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 | LANCASHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL | | Locality | PRESTON | | Post town | Preston | | Postcode | PR1 8XJ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD4 Lancashire | | ITL 3 | TLD45 Mid Lancashire | | Local authority | Preston | | Electoral ward | City Centre | | Westminster constituency | Preston | | Delivery location | TLD North West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85310000 - Social work services ## Release History - 27 Mar 2025 at 15:13 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/fb41b839-5ed1-4d75-a0bd-e838aee1bde0 - 27 Mar 2025 at 15:12 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/fb41b839-5ed1-4d75-a0bd-e838aee1bde0 - 27 Mar 2025 at 15:12 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/fb41b839-5ed1-4d75-a0bd-e838aee1bde0 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/fb41b839-5ed1-4d75-a0bd-e838aee1bde0 27th March 2025 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://forms.office.com/e/jCyxfdUyUr Questionnaire ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
