## Summary

The Comhairle nan Eilean Siar is initiating a procurement process for the "Lewis Residential Care Project - Goathill Development" located in Stornoway, Isle of Lewis. The project aims to deliver affordable housing, a 52-bed residential care home, and a 50-unit extra care facility, with an estimated budget of £20 million. Currently in the planning stage, the call for tenders will formally commence with a notice expected on 6th August 2018, following the commitment of £15.8 million from the council’s capital programme for the 2018-2023 period, as part of a strategic partnership with Hebridean Housing Partnership Ltd and the Scottish Government's More Homes initiative.

This tender offers significant opportunities for construction and housing-related businesses, particularly those specialising in building residential care facilities, affordable housing, and associated development works such as road infrastructure. Companies with experience in large-scale residential projects, especially in the accessibility and design for elderly populations, will be particularly well-suited to compete. Additionally, firms engaged in providing ancillary services such as landscaping and site management may also find viable avenues for collaboration and growth through this project.

## Notice

During the summer of 2017, Hebridean Housing Partnership (HHP) and Comhairle nan Eilean Siar partnered with Scottish Government's More Homes Scotland and undertook a Master Planning and Options Appraisal exercise for a large strategic housing site in the Goathill area of Stornoway with the objective to deliver affordable housing, housing with Extra Care, and a Residential Care Home hub to meet the needs of the island's elderly population and to fulfil wider strategic housing objectives. Furthermore, in December 2017, Comhairle nan Eilean Siar agreed to commit GBP15.8m of its 2018-2023 capital programme towards the care related accommodation associated with this project.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

The proposed development is based on the preferred model of care, comprising a 52 bed residential care home and a 50 unit extra care facility on a greenfield site at Goathill Farm, Stornoway, Isle of Lewis, currently owned by Hebridean Housing Partnership (HHP). Further information on site location details are provided in Appendix 1. Draft accommodation schedules for the proposed care related facilities are provided in Appendix 2. In addition to the buildings, the development also comprises ancillary facilities such as car parking and bus drop-off areas, courtyard and external garden areas, refuse compound, delivery zones, and works to the existing road infrastructure and access to the site at Perceval Road. The Masterplan for the site concluded that there is scope also to provide affordable housing on the land out-with the residential care and housing with extra care development. It is estimated that approximately 62 housing units could be accommodated utilising HHP's preferred house types (comprising single and two storeys) as previously implemented in other island locations. There is an aspiration to include this within the overall development works and a formal decision is awaited on this.. Please see attached document for further information.
