The procurement process is currently in the planning stage, with a key engagement deadline set for 25th September 2020. The authority is specifically seeking input from businesses in the social services sector, particularly those capable of delivering affordable rented housing to vulnerable older adults in an urban context, with the intent to design and build future extra care schemes on earmarked sites in London. This tender presents an opportunity for businesses that specialise in affordable housing and social support services, especially those experienced in working with elderly populations and dementia-friendly environments. Companies with a strong commitment to community engagement and flexible care provisions will be particularly well-suited to contribute. Participation in this market testing may influence the development of future procurement exercises, allowing firms that meet the council's criteria to potentially secure partnerships in the management of new care housing schemes. ## Notice Westminster City Council would like to invite you to take part in our market testing questionnaire, the results of which will inform any future procurement strategy for the provision of extra care housing within Westminster. The Council is committed to modernising and expanding its building-based services for older people. A site will shortly become available that has been earmarked for the development of a new extra care scheme in the north of the borough. Current plans are to develop at least one further scheme in another part of the borough at a later date. The Council's current plan is to design and build the extra care scheme and seek an operator to manage it. A Project Board, comprising senior representatives from Adult Social Care, Housing and Development has been established to oversee the project and provide strategic direction. Project management arrangements across both ASC and Development are in place. A Design Team has been appointed and is working up feasibility and initial designs in line with HAPPI principles and best practice in dementia design. The scheme will be 100% affordable rent. This market testing exercise will help the Council to determine whether this approach is attractive to the market, what alternative options might be considered and inform future development plans. In particular we are keen to hear from operators who: - have experience in delivering affordable rented extra care housing to vulnerable older people, particularly in an urban setting - understand how to provide supportive services that promote independence - are committed to supporting people with dementia to live happy and fulfilled lives within their own home for as long as possible - take a partnership approach to engaging with the wider community and opening up facilities and resources without compromising the safety and security of residents - understand how to provide flexible care or, if not a care provider, how to work effectively with an onsite care provider to ensure residents get a seamless service Request Questionnaire: To take part in this market testing exercise and request a copy of the questionnaire please email: Liz Alvey - lalvey@westminster.gov.uk or Hatice Henson - hhenson@westminster.gov.uk Please note: - This notice is not a call for competition.
