Early Engagement for Extra Care Schemes in Bedford

Prior Information Notice (PIN) Online Journal Submission Id - 20211129-000005 Early Engagement for Extra Care Schemes in Bedford

Bedford Borough Council is in the early stages of procuring Extra Care services for two existing Extra Care Schemes in Bedford. We are seeking the views of care providers who have experience of providing care and support services in Extra Care Housing schemes for older adults. We would like to learn from your experience of delivering different models of care within Extra Care schemes where the property is owned by a Registered Social Landlord. Responses will be used to support the development of the service specification within the upcoming opportunity and to inform our approach to tendering the future contracts. Bedford Borough Council is therefore keen to have the input from providers at this early stage.

The purpose of this PIN is for prior information and market engagement purposes only; Registration and completion of the questionnaire does not constitute an expression of interest in any future tender. Responses will not be used to evaluate your company, create a short-list or guarantee inclusion or exclusion in any resulting tender exercise. Please note that Bedford Borough Council will competitively tender this opportunity next year.
