Strategic partners for the development, delivery and operation of Extra-Care housing in Cornwall: Strategic Partner for the Development, Delivery and Operation of Extra-Care Housing in West Cornwall

Description

The Contracting Authority wishes to procure a strategic partner and award to them a public service contract for the design, funding, construction and operation of a minimum of 250 extra care units in West Cornwall. The Strategic Partner will be responsible for providing care services in the extra care units and this will be delivered under a separate care contract. The procurement is being undertaken in separate lots — 1 for each of West Cornwall, Mid Cornwall and East Cornwall. A supplier may apply for all 3 lots but can only use the same care provider in 2 of the 3 lots. The strategic partnership contract will last up to 30 years. The care contract will last for up to 14 years with a possible extension up to 3 years. The procurement of a care provider to provide care services once the original care contract has expired will be led by the Contracting Authority in collaboration with the Strategic Partner. The strategic partner is responsible for raising finance to include securing third party funding, such as private investment or Homes England funding (if applicable). Alongside procuring a strategic partner for the delivery of the services set out above, the Contracting Authority wishes to also procure a Framework Agreement for it and other public and private bodies that wish to design, fund, construct and operate (include providing care services) extra care facilities in Cornwall can call-off from. The Contracting Authority intends to appoint each strategic partner which is awarded the strategic partnership contract in each lot a place on the framework. The framework providers will be able to provide services across Cornwall and not just in the region(s) for which they are the strategic partner.
