## Summary

The Cambridgeshire County Council is preparing to release a procurement opportunity titled "Extra care scheme" as part of the Fenland Riverside Development. This process is currently in the planning stage, with the official tender notice expected to be published by 1st April 2027. The procurement falls under the industry category of 'Social work services with accommodation' and is designated as a 'light touch' regime.
