Cambridgeshire County Council - Older People's Residential and Nursing Block Bed Contracts - South Cambridgeshire, East Cambridgeshire and Huntingdonshire

Tender description

Cambridgeshire County Council launched The Care Homes Development Project in 2017 as part of the Older People's Accommodation Strategy. The focus of the project is to address the current and future requirements for residential, residential dementia, nursing and nursing dementia care provision in the short and longer term across Cambridgeshire. We have a projected shortfall of 450 beds across the market. 150 of these beds will be directly commissioned by the Council, and the remainder 300 to be available to the self-funder market. Through this procurement the Council intends to procure a total of 111 units across South Cambridgeshire, East Cambridgeshire and Huntingdonshire on a block contract basis. The contracts will be for an initial period of 5 years, with options to extend for up to a further 10 years (discretionary extension periods of 5+2+2+1 years), making 15 years in total.
