This procurement is for an open framework for the delivery of residential and nursing care services in new care home accommodation with care and nursing provided in a care home setting. In 2023, the Council published its Supported and Specialist Housing Strategy, Cornwall Supported & Specialist Housing Strategy 2023-2050 which sets out the future demand for services. This procurement tender exercise is for the care services for new care home schemes in strategic locations across Cornwall to meet the demand set out in the Specialist and Supported Housing Strategy and Market Position Statement. The Authority is inviting tenders from suitably experienced and qualified providers of regulated care home services who will bring forward new care home accommodation to be appointed to the open framework. The NHS Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly Integrated Care Board shall be entitled to access any care services ordered under this Framework. Please refer to the tender documents for further details.

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 85. The category anchor is Health and social work services (85000000); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.
| Comparison set | Procedures | Reported bids per procedure | Named award suppliers | Price evidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Market: CPV division 85 | 14,175 | 1 median · 37.2 average (6,217 of 14,175 with a bid count) | 2.1 average (7,057 of 14,175 with named award suppliers) | 10 comparable price pairs |
| Same buyer | 38 | Not published | Not published | Not published |
| Delivery region: UKK30 | 175 | 1 median · 1.2 average (130 of 175 with a bid count) | 1.1 average (142 of 175 with named award suppliers) | Not published |
| Similar published value (0.5×–2×) | 10 | Not published | Not published | Not published |
“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.
£4,814,436,451 is the median lowest-valid-bid benchmark for the broad CPV market sample, against this procedure’s published value of £7,400,000,000.
This is a historical comparator, not a bid-price forecast or a guaranteed saving. It excludes records where the published values cannot be sensibly compared and does not adjust for lot structure, quality weighting, framework terms or scope.
No planning milestones published.

The Authority will use both the Care Home Development Framework (Ref: DN754240) and this Framework to procure the Services and the spend on the Services under each framework will be determined by the market position as the framework progresses.\nAppointment to the Framework will be for an initial term of eighteen (18) months with the Authority having absolute discretion to extend the initial term by a further period up to the date immediately preceding the third (3rd) anniversary of the commencement of the Framework. Each Successive Framework will be for a period of eighteen (18) months with the Authority having absolute discretion to extend the Successive Framework term by a further period of eighteen (18) months provided always that the maximum term of the Open Framework will not exceed eight (8) years from the commencement of the original Framework.\nThe Authority will re-open the Framework within the first three (3) years to admit more Suppliers to the Framework. The Authority may, at its sole discretion, re-open the Framework at various intervals during the term where evidence provided from market engagement and/or call-off contracts demonstrates that it is likely that there will not be sufficient market capacity and ability to meet the demand for the build programme set out in the Supported and Specialist Housing Strategy and the associated Market Position Statement.\nThere will be no limit on the number of Suppliers that may be appointed to the Framework. The Authority may appoint new Suppliers to the Successive Framework by re-opening the Framework in accordance with section 49 of the Act. Suppliers should refer to the applicable procurement documents published in relation to any Successive Framework for further details of the re-appointment process.\nIn the event that only one (1) Supplier bids for the Framework, the Authority reserves the right to carry out a separate value for money assessment, and at its absolute discretion, to decide to cancel the Procurement.\nPlease refer to the tender documents for further details.",
