Brookhead Lodge Extra Care Scheme - Care & Support Service

Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council is currently in the tender stage for the procurement of a 24-hour care and support service for the Brookhead Lodge Extra Care Scheme in Cheadle. This initiative falls under the Health and Social Work Services category and is valued at £3,423,906 GBP. The procurement follows an open procedure under a light touch regime with relevant legal frameworks in place, and is designed to address medium to high care needs within a newly constructed facility comprising 49 flats.

Key dates include the tender submission deadline on 17th June 2025 and the anticipated award period concluding by 12th September 2025. The procurement also aims to facilitate hospital discharges and reduce short-term care placements through the incorporation of assessment flats. This procurement represents a substantial opportunity for businesses specialised in health and social care services to expand their operations by providing comprehensive care solutions.

The open procedure invites competition, creating a level playing field for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) with the capability to deliver high-quality services. With a procurement emphasis on both quality (75% weighting) and price (25% weighting), companies with a strong track record in delivering quality health and care services, particularly those capable of supporting hospital discharge and reducing formal care placements, are well-positioned to benefit from this initiative. The anticipated contract period is initially set for three years, with potential for extension, offering a stable long-term growth opportunity for successful bidders.
