## Summary

Southampton City Council has announced a procurement opportunity for the "Delivery of affordable Extra Care Housing scheme in Bitterne, Southampton." Currently at the planning stage, this procurement falls under the industry category of construction work (CPV: 45000000). The procurement seeks to engage suppliers for the development, construction, and management of an extra care housing scheme on a 0.6-hectare site, formerly a decommissioned residential care home. Key dates include a supplier meeting on 5th November 2024, and the tentative issuance of the tender opportunity in early December. Interested suppliers must register their interest by 23rd October 2024.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in construction, property development, and elderly care services. Companies specialising in extra care and housing services will find this project particularly suitable for leveraging their expertise and contributing to social welfare. The requirement to manage the facility suggests opportunities for businesses offering long-term property management and elder care solutions. Engaging in this project could enhance a company's portfolio, expand market presence in the public sector, and foster relationships with regional authorities. Businesses with a forte in social and affordable rent schemes are especially well-placed to compete.

## Notice

Southampton City Council is seeking interest from suppliers who are interested in developing, constructing, owning and managing (in terms of landlord function) an affordable extra care housing scheme on council owned land, which is to be disposed of for this purpose. The care and support element for residents is planned to be procured separately, and we anticipate this is an arrangement potential providers will be familiar with. The intention of this PIN is to gauge market feasibility and engage with suppliers to review and update project scope and requirements for tender stage.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

Project Location The proposed site is the site of a de-commissioned residential care home. The site is in Bitterne, on the eastern side of Southampton city, and comprises of 0.6 hectares. The former care home building will require demolishing as part of the redevelopment. Project Scope The extra care scheme being sought is * one for older persons (age requirement likely to be set at 60+) * one which would allow residents to remain in their flats as they grow older and their physical and/or mental health potentially deteriorates * one designed such that people with dementia could remain there (so with a dementia friendly layout and design) as opposed to a specialist dementia care scheme or a scheme containing a dedicated dementia cluster, wing or floor. (A 2022 "Housing with Care Market Position Statement" sets out SCC's future housing with care needs and will be available as part of the Invitation to Tender). Work undertaken to date Council architects have undertaken initial feasibility work, based upon a brief which has been compiled, and obtained some pre-application planning advice in respect of scale and massing, which suggests that the site has the potential to accommodate an extra care scheme of circa 40 units, although final numbers remain subject to Planning and a full consent being obtained. Suppliers meeting The Council intend to hold a supplier's meeting on Tuesday 05th November 2024, time 10:30-12:30am via Teams prior to publishing the tender opportunity, which is expected to be issued in early December tentatively.
