## Summary

The procurement process, currently in the planning stage, is being led by Gateshead Borough Council for their "Extra Care Housing" project. This initiative is under the main procurement category of works, focusing on the building construction industry. The Council is actively seeking suitable sites in Gateshead, UK, to develop approximately two sites for Extra Care Housing, each accommodating around 80 beds. Businesses have until 17th October 2025 to participate in the market engagement questionnaire, as indicated in the preliminary notice published on 10th September 2025.

This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses involved in the construction industry, particularly those with experience in residential and care facility developments. Companies that have access to feasible development sites in the Gateshead region or those looking to partner in delivering large-scale residential projects may find this opportunity ideal. The project's expected start in April 2026, with a planned year-long contract period, offers substantial business growth potential for those able to meet the council's specifications for viable sites and construction capacity.

## Notice

Gateshead Council are seeking parties to come forward with available sites which they are actively marketing or they are aware are available to assist in the delivery of their Extra Care Housing (ECH) programme. These sites should be suitable for residential development by the Council or one of the Council's developer partners and any site should fulfil the requirements outlined within this brief. Gateshead Council have an active requirement for two sites (defined further in this report) to bring forward two ECH sites, in the region of 80 beds in each location. The Council considers the minimum number of apartments for large extra care housing to be 50 units in order that the housing management, care and support services and any additional facilities can be financially viable.
