Cambridgeshire Extra Care Schemes

Extra care housing is defined as specialist accommodation designed to maximise the independence of older people by providing a safe, secure and stimulating environment. Service Users retain the independence of having their own home and at the same time benefit from the availability of around the clock social care and housing support. The care and support service is expected to enable Service Users to live independently and to maximise the Service Users capacity to carry out tasks themselves. The service is divided into 4 Lots (schemes), The Authority wishes to appoint a single Provider per Lot to provide Extra Care services. Potential Providers can bid for more than Lot and will be awarded each Lot for which they are considered to be the Preferred Provider according to the evaluation process. It is expected that an initial contract will last for a period of 4 years. In providing the Services the Provider is required to be registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC) and to maintain that registration throughout the Contract Period.
