## Summary

Oxfordshire County Council intends to appoint a provider to deliver care and support across six extra care housing schemes in Oxfordshire, covering approximately 220 homes. The service combines a 24-hour on-site response to emergencies and unplanned needs with flexible planned care arranged after individual Care Act assessments. The Council’s requirements may also cover wellbeing checks, support for new residents, step-up care and hospital-discharge pathways, and activities that promote independence and social inclusion. The provider will work with partners and support safeguarding, continuity of the workforce, performance reporting, innovation and ongoing service improvement. This is a health and social care service for people living in extra care housing, rather than a housing construction or property-management contract.

The process is at planning: the Council has set out its intention to procure, but has not issued an invitation to tender. It expects to use a competitive flexible procedure. The procurement is planned as one lot, with a contract period expected to run from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2030. The Council expects the next notice to be published on 19 October 2026; this is an indicative publication date, not a bid deadline. The process is classified as a light-touch services procurement and is above the relevant threshold. No evaluation criteria or further participation conditions are set out at this planning stage.

The work is likely to suit an established care provider able to operate across multiple extra care housing schemes and sustain a reliable, round-the-clock on-site response, alongside flexible care tailored to individual assessments. The Council says the appointed provider must be suitably qualified and registered with the Care Quality Commission. Relevant strengths include delivering planned and urgent support, safeguarding residents, maintaining workforce continuity, and coordinating with partners on hospital discharge and step-up care. Providers should also be able to support residents’ wellbeing, independence and social inclusion, report performance, and demonstrate innovation and continuous improvement. The Council indicates that small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises may be suitable suppliers, making the planned single-lot service potentially relevant to specialist providers as well as larger organisations with the capacity to cover six schemes.
