This initiative arises from the Care Homes Development Project initiated in 2017 and plans to procure a total of 111 units under a block contract structure. The contracts, valued at £64 million, will initially last for five years with potential extensions of up to ten additional years. The tender period concluded on 25th March 2019, with the contract expected to commence on 17th June 2019 and run until 16th June 2024. This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in health and social care services, particularly those offering residential and nursing care. Companies with the capacity to operate within the East of England region and those classified as small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) will find themselves well-suited to compete for these contracts. With a projected shortfall of 450 care beds, businesses capable of providing high-quality elderly care services are likely to benefit from participating in this procurement process. ## Notice Cambridgeshire County Council launched The Care Homes Development Project in 2017 as part of the Older People's Accommodation Strategy. The focus of the project is to address the current and future requirements for residential, residential dementia, nursing and nursing dementia care provision in the short and longer term across Cambridgeshire. We have a projected shortfall of 450 beds across the market. 150 of these beds will be directly commissioned by the Council, and the remainder 300 to be available to the self-funder market. Through this procurement the Council intends to procure a total of 111 units across South Cambridgeshire, East Cambridgeshire and Huntingdonshire on a block contract basis. The contracts will be for an initial period of 5 years, with options to extend for up to a further 10 years (discretionary extension periods of 5+2+2+1 years), making 15 years in total. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/3da0cb46-3c56-4f4f-936a-877b95495ebb | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 5 Jul 2019 | | Submission deadline | 25 Mar 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 9 Jun 2019 | | Contract period | 4 Aug 2019 - 4 Aug 2024 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £64,000,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £27,178,320 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | CAMBRIDGESHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL | | Locality | CAMBRIDGE | | Post town | Cambridge | | Postcode | CB3 0AP | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLH East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLH4 Cambridgeshire and Peterborough | | ITL 3 | TLH42 Cambridgeshire CC | | Local authority | Cambridge | | Electoral ward | Castle | | Westminster constituency | Cambridge | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | ETHELDRED HEALTHCARE | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85000000 - Health and social work services ## Release History - 5 Jul 2019 at 08:20 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/3da0cb46-3c56-4f4f-936a-877b95495ebb - 18 Feb 2019 at 09:12 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6209864d-5a61-4a32-83a0-00e9c1d975b0 - 18 Feb 2019 at 09:11 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7c44bed1-21e7-4984-9b3d-d1f567b4fe40 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/3da0cb46-3c56-4f4f-936a-877b95495ebb 5th July 2019 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6209864d-5a61-4a32-83a0-00e9c1d975b0 18th February 2019 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7c44bed1-21e7-4984-9b3d-d1f567b4fe40 18th February 2019 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
