The procurement is in the planning stage, with a focus on construction work and related real estate services, particularly aimed at addressing the housing needs of vulnerable residents, including those with learning disabilities. Key dates include an engagement end date on 13th September 2019 and a consultation period seeking input from experienced organisations in the delivery, development, and management of extra care housing solutions located in the North West region of the United Kingdom. This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses in the social housing and construction sectors, particularly those specialising in extra care services or supportive accommodation. Companies with experience in developing community-focused housing solutions, as well as those knowledgeable about social inclusion practices, will find this procurement particularly aligned with their capabilities. Participation in this consultation could pave the way for future contracting opportunities as the Council seeks innovative solutions for the redevelopment of Mountview. ## Notice Cheshire East Council's ("the Council") have identified a need to explore alternative housing options for some of our most vulnerable residents. The Vulnerable and Older Persons Housing Strategy 2014, outlined the housing needs for a number of client groups including Adults with Learning Disabilities. The strategy sets out a requirement to promote greater independence and accommodation choice and ensuring that those with a learning disability have a wide range of housing options and support services to accommodate a diverse spectrum of need. The consultation which took place when developing the strategy highlighted that the supported accommodation in a sheltered-style, extra care model emerged strongly as the ideal accommodation type for people with a learning disability. This type of provision provides access to their own front door as well as access to shared areas to promote social inclusion, where activities can be accessed. The Council wishes to consult with organisations that have relevant experience in the delivery, development and management of Extra Care type provision. Mountview, a former Care home in Congleton has been identified as surplus and prior to making a decision on disposal, the Council would like to establish if the redevelopment of the scheme is a viable option for consideration. The purpose therefore of the consultation is to seek the views of market participants, which will help the Council in formulating options to deliver a suitable housing solution. Suitably experienced organisations that have a proven track record in relation to the development and management of social housing are requested to participate in this market consultation - a background document and the questionnaire will be available on The Chest e-tendering portal at: www.the-chest.org.uk - Project ID DN427964. Completed questionnaires should be returned via the Chest messaging section as and when completed - deadline for last submissions 12:00 noon;13.09.2019. The Council makes no guarantees that this notice will be followed with a Contract Notice or tender. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/90feed6a-115f-4f09-91e7-bc658030db83 | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 14 Aug 2019 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 13 Sep 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 | CHESHIRE EAST BOROUGH COUNCIL | | Locality | SANDBACH | | Post town | Crewe | | Postcode | CW11 1HZ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD6 Cheshire | | ITL 3 | TLD62 Cheshire East | | Local authority | Cheshire East | | Electoral ward | Sandbach Town | | Westminster constituency | Congleton | | Delivery location | TLD North West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work - 70 - Real estate services - 98 - Other community, social and personal services ### Codes - 45000000 - Construction work - 70000000 - Real estate services - 98000000 - Other community, social and personal services ## Release History - 14 Aug 2019 at 10:20 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/90feed6a-115f-4f09-91e7-bc658030db83 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/90feed6a-115f-4f09-91e7-bc658030db83 14th August 2019 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - http://www.cheshireeast.gov.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
