It seeks providers to deliver safe, reliable, person-centred and outcomes-focused care and support within designated Extra Care schemes in the Sefton area. The service will support people to maintain independence, wellbeing and connections with their local communities while living in their own accommodation. Extra Care combines accommodation-based care with planned and responsive support when required. The requirement concerns services delivered in designated schemes rather than general residential care, and is intended for organisations able to support adults in their own homes within an Extra Care setting. This procurement is at the planning stage: the council has stated an intention to procure and has not yet issued an invitation to tender. It expects to use a light-touch services procedure for a framework agreement, with one lot. The indicative contract period is 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2030, with a possible extension to 31 March 2032 and renewal rights. The estimated gross value is £23,040,000. The council has scheduled an online presentation and question-and-answer event through Microsoft Teams, with expressions of interest expected by 11 September 2026. A subsequent notice is anticipated on 22 September 2026. The lot is identified as suitable for SMEs. The work will suit specialist adult social care providers with experience delivering accommodation-based care and support, particularly in Extra Care housing or comparable supported-living environments. Providers should be able to organise planned care alongside responsive support, while maintaining safe, reliable and person-centred services. Strong practice in promoting independence, wellbeing and community connections will be relevant, as will an outcomes-focused approach and the operational capacity to serve designated schemes over a multi-year framework arrangement. Smaller organisations are expressly considered suitable for the requirement. Interested providers should use the planned market engagement to understand the council’s service expectations, explain their delivery model and prepare evidence of relevant experience, staffing and quality assurance before the procurement reaches the tender stage. ## Notice The Council is seeking to work with providers who can deliver safe, reliable, person-centred and outcomes-focused services within designated Extra Care schemes, supporting people to maintain their independence, wellbeing and connections within their local community. Extra Care forms an important part of the wider adult social care market by providing accommodation-based care and support that enables people to live independently in their own home, while having access to planned and responsive support when required. ### Planning Information On line presentation and Q&A event via MS Teams Expressions of interest to be submitted via ProContract tendering portal : https://procontract.due-north.com/RFx/RFxSummary?rfxId=2e971bbf-de9b-f111-813c-005056b64545&projectId=7f79123d-d69b-f111-813c-005056b64545 ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/080893-2026 | | Notice type | UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Framework | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 25 Aug 2026 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 22 Sep 2026 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 1 Apr 2027 - 31 Mar 2030 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £23,040,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Planning | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | Sefton Metropolitan Borough Council | | Locality | BOOTLE | | Postcode area | Liverpool | | Postcode | L20 7AE | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD7 Merseyside | | ITL 3 | TLD73 Sefton | | Local authority | Sefton | | Electoral ward | Linacre | | Westminster constituency | Bootle | | Delivery location | TLD73 Sefton | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85000000 - Health and social work services ## Release History - 25 Aug 2026 at 14:35 - Planning - UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/080893-2026 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/080893-2026 25th August 2026 - Preliminary market engagement notice on Find a Tender ## Notice URLs - http://sefton.gov.uk - https://procontract.due-north.com/RFx/RFxSummary?rfxId=2e971bbf-de9b-f111-813c-005056b64545&projectId=7f79123d-d69b-f111-813c-005056b64545 - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
