The procurement seeks the delivery of on-site care and support in both new and existing extra care housing across strategic locations in Cornwall. The latest stage of this procurement, the Award stage, was concluded on 1st May 2026. The process follows an open procedure under the UK procurement rules and forms part of the broader Cornwall Supported & Specialist Housing Strategy, covering a period from 2023 to 2050. The awarded value for this contract is GBP 2.6 billion, and services are scheduled to commence on 1st July 2026, continuing until December 2034, assuming all renewal options are exercised. As part of this framework, the procurement offers significant opportunities for businesses in the care services industry to participate and expand their operations in Cornwall. The services align with industry categories of social work services combined with accommodation, making them attractive for large-scale care providers. The open procurement method utilised ensures that qualified and experienced providers can vie for inclusion in the framework, which is adaptable to include more suppliers if demand forecasts indicate potential service shortfalls. This suggests a competitive field favouring established care services firms with a robust capacity to manage and deliver extensive care programmes efficiently. ## Notice Delivery of on-site care and support in new and existing extra care housing. In 2023, the Council published its Supported and Specialist Housing Strategy, Cornwall Supported & Specialist Housing Strategy 2023-2050 which sets out the future demand for services. This procurement tender exercise is for extra care services in new or existing extra care schemes in strategic locations across Cornwall to meet the demand set out in the Specialist and Supported Housing Strategy and Market Position Statement. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Renewal: Please refer to the Tender Documents for further information. ### Planning Information 10 Sept 2024 Publication of Prior Information Notice – market engagement invitation for combined Extra Care and Home Care 24 Sept 2024 Joint Care Homes and Extra Care market engagement event 04 Dec 2024 Re-Publication of Prior Information Notice – market engagement invitation for the individual projects following decision to separate the two elements extra care and home care in to separate procurement exercises 08 Jan 2025 Extra Care pricing methodology workshop 16 Jan 2025 Extra Care specification workshop 22 Jan 2025 Joint Care Homes and Extra Care commercial model workshop In order to view the engagement information please register and express interest to the project please follow the link to the supplyingthesouthwest portal - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=65e2ac42-8bb1-ef11-8132-005056b64545&p=696a9836-1895-e511-8105-000c29c9ba21 ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/040310-2026 | | Notice type | UK6 - Contract Award Notice | | Procurement type | Framework | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Planning, Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 1 May 2026 | | Submission deadline | 15 Jan 2026 | | Future notice date | 16 Jun 2025 | | Award date | 31 Mar 2026 | | Contract period | 30 Jun 2026 - 31 Dec 2027 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £2,600,000,000 | | Lots value | £2,600,000,000 | | Awards value | £2,600,000,000 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Complete | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | CORNWALL COUNCIL | | Locality | TRURO | | Post town | Truro | | Postcode | TR1 3AY | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK3 Cornwall and Isles of Scilly | | ITL 3 | TLK30 Cornwall and Isles of Scilly | | Local authority | Cornwall | | Electoral ward | Truro Boscawen & Redannick | | Westminster constituency | Truro and Falmouth | | Delivery location | TLK3 Cornwall and Isles of Scilly | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 19 | | Supplier names | BE CARE; BLUEBOARD CARE SERVICES; CARE DORSET; CERA CARE OPERATIONS; COASTLINE HOUSING; CORNWALL HEALTH CARE SERVICES; DIAMOND MEDICAL; FORTIX; G P HOMECARE; KARREK COMMUNITY; KENSA HEALTH HOME CARE; LOVAGE HOME CARE; MIDCO CARE; MOREGLO CARE; NADIAMED; PASSION RECRUITMENT AGENCY; PENHELLIS COMMUNITY CARE; SAFESIDE SUPPORTED LIVING SERVICES; THE HUMAN SUPPORT GROUP | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85311000 - Social work services with accommodation ## Release History - 1 May 2026 at 08:50 - Award - UK6 - Contract Award Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/040310-2026 - 12 Sep 2025 at 17:14 - Tender - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/056373-2025 - 6 May 2025 at 12:54 - Planning - UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/019104-2025 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/040310-2026 1st May 2026 - Contract award notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/056373-2025 12th September 2025 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/019104-2025 6th May 2025 - Preliminary market engagement notice on Find a Tender ## Notice URLs - http://www.cornwall.gov.uk - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=65e2ac42-8bb1-ef11-8132-005056b64545&p=696a9836-1895-e511-8105-000c29c9ba21 - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=b1c8cc77-1f16-f011-8136-005056b64545&p=696a9836-1895-e511-8105-000c29c9ba21 - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
