Summary of the contracting process
Lancashire County Council has initiated a procurement process for an Extra Care Service facility in Burnley, falling under the social work services industry category (CPV code 85310000). The council aims to address a significant gap in the provision of care services by establishing a facility of 60 or more units, as outlined in the Lancashire Housing with Care and Support Strategy, 2018-2025.
The procurement stage is currently in the planning phase, with an engagement end date set for 10th April 2025. The project location is within the North West region of the United Kingdom, specifically targeting the Burnley district. Interested parties are encouraged to provide their feedback and complete a questionnaire by the stated deadline to inform the council of potential market solutions.
This procurement presents significant business opportunities, particularly for SMEs and VCSEs capable of delivering comprehensive care and support services. Businesses specialising in social care, assisted living, and elderly support services stand to benefit from the demand for an estimated 134 extra care units in Burnley.
The notice in full
The Lancashire Housing with Care and Support Strategy, 2018-2025, highlights the authorities' aim to have at least one Extra Care scheme for older adults in each District equating to approximately 1,000 homes by 2025 together with the importance of further developments in Lancashire. In the strategy, there is an estimated need for 134 extra care units in Burnley. We currently have no extra care units available in Burnley.
In seeking to address this, we are requiring an extra care facility in the district of 60 or more units, together with the appropriate care and support, to meet this identified gap. We are therefore enquiring as to what might be available in the market and to be aware of any potential plans.
We welcome your views and feedback - Please complete the questionnaire on the link below by Friday 10th April 2025. forms.office.com/e/jCyxfdUyUr
