The procurement is targeting the industry category of health and social work services and is scheduled within the UK region, UKD7. As part of this engagement, the Council aims to connect with current and potential providers of Extra Care settings that offer integrated care services. The goal is to understand operational models, service availability, and any challenges that could shape future commissioning. Interested parties are encouraged to engage by participating in the market engagement questionnaire via the Council's procurement portal by 13 August 2025. This preliminary engagement represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in Extra Care services, particularly those equipped with on-site care teams. It provides an avenue for these providers to influence strategic planning and service alignment within Liverpool City Council's jurisdiction. While there is no competitive procurement process currently planned, this exercise offers an excellent opportunity for providers to showcase their operational capabilities and potentially guide future service provisions. Businesses that can demonstrate innovative solutions and adaptability in Extra Care settings will be well-placed to benefit from this procurement process. ## Notice The Council is only looking to engage with current or future providers of Extra Care settings who are also able to offer extra care services within their settings. The primary objective is to identify and engage with providers who currently operate Extra Care settings that include on-site care teams. We are particularly interested in understanding the availability, scope, and operational models of such services, as well as any barriers or opportunities that may influence future commissioning. This engagement will help inform the Council's strategic planning and ensure that future services align with the needs of our local population. The Council does not currently have any plans to run a competitive procurement exercise for these services. ### Planning Information The Council is only looking to engage with current or future providers of Extra Care settings who are also able to offer extra care services within their settings.
