## Summary

The procurement process led by Coventry City Council, under the title "Housing with Care - Direct Award", focuses on providing independent living options to residents aged 55 and over in Coventry. The procurement falls under the services category and is specifically related to social work and related services. The contracts have been awarded via a direct award method, permissible under the Procurement Act 2023 due to an absence of competition for technical reasons. The project includes the provision of care and housing at two sites: Arden Grove, managed by Green Square Accord, and Earlsdon Park Village, operated by the ExtraCare Charitable Trust. Both of these are located in Coventry (UKG33 region). Contracts are set to commence on 1st July 2026, and will run until 30th June 2030, with potential for a 24-month extension. Key dates include the standstill period ending on 16th June 2026 and contracts pending signature by 19th June 2026.

This tender represents an opportunity for businesses in the social care and assisted living industry, particularly those capable of managing integrated housing and care services. While the direct award process limits competition, businesses can explore collaborative ventures or subcontracting opportunities with the awarded entities, Green Square Accord and the ExtraCare Charitable Trust, to provide specialised services and products required for such comprehensive care schemes. Large-scale suppliers within the health and social care sector could find growth by engaging with such initiatives, offering innovative solutions to address the complex needs of eldercare. This engagement could facilitate market entry and expansion in the provision of integrated housing with care services.

## Notice

Housing with Care (HwC) aims to deliver an independent living option for people 55+ who wish to maintain their independence in their own property in a safe, secure, and supported environment. The Council is intending to Direct Award to two suppliers where competition is absent for technical reasons based on the operating model of the providers and the inability to separate out landlord and care provision within the schemes (ie the landlord is also the service provider within the scheme). Contract 1) Arden Grove is a specialist dementia HwC site comprising of 33 beds. Arden Grove is operated by Green Square Accord who deliver both the landlord and care function on site. Contract 2) Earlsdon Park Village is a HwC village owned by Extra Care Charitable Trust consisting of 322 flats, a total of 52 will be made available for nominations for Coventry City Council. ECCT operates both as a landlord and the care provider. Therefore, under the Procurement Act 2023, a Direct Award procedure will be implemented: Regulation 41 - Direct award in special cases (1) If a direct award justification applies, a contracting authority may award a public contract directly (a) to a supplier that is not an excluded supplier ... (only in line with the Direct Award Justifications set out in Schedule 5): Schedule 5 - Direct Award Justifications: Single Suppliers (6) The following conditions are met in relation to the public contract (a) due to an absence of competition for technical reasons, only a particular supplier can supply the goods, services or works required, and (b) there are no reasonable alternatives to those goods, services or works
