Summary, notice description and lot information
Somerset County Council has completed the procurement process for Extra Care Housing (ECH) Care and Support Services, with contracts awarded in three lots: East & South, West, and North of Somerset. This tender falls under the health and social work services industry category and aims to support adults with health and social care needs, focusing on maintaining their independence. The contracts, valued at £12,000,000 each, were signed on 31st March 2025 following a restricted procedure.
The awarded contracts are to Way Ahead Care and Agincare UK, covering multiple ECH units across Somerset. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses within the care and support services sector, particularly those experienced in providing health and social care services. Companies like Way Ahead Care and Agincare UK, which specialise in large-scale care services, have successfully secured these contracts, demonstrating capabilities in delivering high-quality care and support.
Interested businesses should have robust operational frameworks to support varied levels of dependency needs and the ability to foster community-based independent living. The procurement method highlights selective procurement processes, underscoring the importance of meeting stringent quality, social value, and price criteria.
ECH is specialist independent living housing option for adults with health and social care needs. It is targeted at people with physical disabilities, learning disabilities or ill mental health. The aim is to create a community within Extra Care where people stay independent as long as possible, with their front door but have access to care and support.
To achieve this, the aspiration is to accommodate people with a mix of care and support needs with approximately one third of occupiers having a high dependency care need, one third having medium dependency care needs and one third should have low dependency or support needs.
