This initiative falls under the category of research services and is based in the East of England. The engagement period will conclude on 23 February 2018, and interested research groups are encouraged to participate in phone interviews scheduled from 10:30 am on 10 February. The project aims to investigate the care and housing requirements of older adults in the Cambridge region amidst existing policy frameworks. This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in research and analysis, particularly those with expertise in housing, social care, or support services for older people. Companies capable of delivering insights into housing pathways or estimating future demand for housing options are well-positioned to engage with this initiative. Organisations with strong methodological prowess, particularly in qualitative research within the context of social care, will find this tender to be an excellent avenue for expanding their business horizons. ## Notice South Cambridgeshire District council and partners wish to commission research to elucidate the housing, care and support needs of older people in the Cambridge area, in the context of current policy and practice. It will: (a) Allow an understanding of the housing pathways available to older people and their impact in terms of wellbeing. It will draw out recommendations for policy and practice reform which will allow older people to exercise choice in how they live. (b) Analyse the current housing, care and support provision within Cambridgeshire and with reference to qualitative research described above, estimate future demand for different housing options. By establishing a model capable of generating estimates of demand for specialist older persons' housing at the local authority level, tested and validated in Cambridgeshire, this research will result in a model available to local authorities across England. South Cambridgeshire District Council invite interested research groups with the necessary subject specific and methodological expertise to participate in a pre-market consultation - phone interviews will be held from 10:30 am Friday 10 February. To arrange an interview please contact Clare Gibbons (01954 713290) clare.gibbons@scambs.gov.uk Additional information: This is a pre-market consultation. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/cb264c45-15be-4e69-b67b-f480dcef7fe1 | | 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 | 27 Feb 2017 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 23 Feb 2018 | | 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 | Cancelled | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | SOUTH CAMBRIDGESHIRE DISTRICT COUNCIL | | Locality | CAMBOURNE | | Post town | Cambridge | | Postcode | CB23 6EA | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLH East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLH4 Cambridgeshire and Peterborough | | ITL 3 | TLH42 Cambridgeshire CC | | Local authority | South Cambridgeshire | | Electoral ward | Cambourne | | Westminster constituency | St Neots and Mid Cambridgeshire | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 73110000 - Research services ## Release History - 27 Feb 2017 at 14:49 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/cb264c45-15be-4e69-b67b-f480dcef7fe1 - 27 Feb 2017 at 14:49 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0a9a0bc2-4e18-40df-b828-45928436d029 - 27 Feb 2017 at 14:49 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/edb66869-c45a-4854-9535-f43c06c5e036 - 27 Feb 2017 at 14:49 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/73350514-fdd5-4686-bc2c-ba9762d3bab6 - 27 Feb 2017 at 14:49 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7bb247a5-99b0-4c5d-8b17-96644ef26ddb - 27 Feb 2017 at 14:49 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9ed5977d-7b6e-45cb-baa2-cc4d7f7c8cd9 - 27 Feb 2017 at 14:49 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e6c4e84a-28b5-4430-b9dd-65b79bc817fc - 6 Feb 2017 at 09:08 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/22b1d93d-79fe-440e-8a97-58f2716025e0 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/cb264c45-15be-4e69-b67b-f480dcef7fe1 27th February 2017 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0a9a0bc2-4e18-40df-b828-45928436d029 27th February 2017 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/edb66869-c45a-4854-9535-f43c06c5e036 27th February 2017 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7bb247a5-99b0-4c5d-8b17-96644ef26ddb 27th February 2017 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/73350514-fdd5-4686-bc2c-ba9762d3bab6 27th February 2017 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9ed5977d-7b6e-45cb-baa2-cc4d7f7c8cd9 27th February 2017 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e6c4e84a-28b5-4430-b9dd-65b79bc817fc 27th February 2017 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/22b1d93d-79fe-440e-8a97-58f2716025e0 6th February 2017 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - http://www.scambs.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
