Extra Care Services Framework

Cornwall Council is currently in the planning stage of a procurement process for the "Extra Care Services Framework". This initiative, focused on social work services without accommodation, aims to address the needs outlined in the Cornwall Supported & Specialist Housing Strategy 2023-2050. The procurement involves extra care services in new or existing schemes located strategically across Cornwall.

The opportunities within this framework are expected to commence on 1st September 2025, with a contract period potentially extending until 31st August 2033. The procurement, classified within the services category, holds a significant gross value of £1.18 billion. Interested parties can anticipate future communications regarding this tender by 16th June 2025.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in social care services, particularly those capable of offering innovative solutions within the extra care domain. Organisations focusing on care provision without accommodation, and those with expertise in adapting services to varying care needs, will find this a prime growth opportunity. With Cornwall Council acting as the buyer, businesses can leverage this chance to establish or expand their presence in the public sector, benefiting from the financial scale and strategic importance of the framework.

Such a substantial contract invites competitive tendering, providing an excellent platform for both established entities and emerging providers with strong regional insights or innovative care solutions.
