What is being bought

Extra Care Housing services are purpose-built developments designed to enable older people to maintain their independence by having their own front door and tenancy while living within a supportive community environment. These schemes offer opportunities for social engagement alongside access to on-site care and support services. Many Extra Care Housing schemes include facilities such as a bistro, communal areas, and social activities. Each apartment is equipped with an emergency pull-cord system, which alerts the on-site care team should assistance be required. The combination of independent living, social opportunities, and the reassurance of a 24-hour on-site care presence makes Extra Care Housing an attractive option for many older people. Cheshire East Council currently commissions the continuous on-site care provision within four Extra Care Housing schemes across the borough. The current care contracts are due to end on the 31st August 2027 and it is envisioned that tender for future contracts will go live in February 2027.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 85. The category anchor is Social work services without accommodation (85312000); 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 setProceduresReported bids per procedureNamed award suppliersPrice evidence
Market: CPV division 8511,3611 median · 41.7 average (4,750 of 11,361 with a bid count)2.2 average (5,431 of 11,361 with named award suppliers)10 comparable price pairs

“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.

Indicative price outcome

£2,602,398 is the median lowest-valid-bid benchmark for the broad CPV market sample, against this procedure’s published value of £4,000,000.

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.

    "description": "Extra Care Housing services are purpose-built developments designed to enable older people to maintain their independence by having their own front door and tenancy while living within a supportive community environment. These schemes offer opportunities for social engagement alongside access to on-site care and support services.\nMany Extra Care Housing schemes include facilities such as a bistro, communal areas, and social activities. Each apartment is equipped with an emergency pull-cord system, which alerts the on-site care team should assistance be required. The combination of independent living, social opportunities, and the reassurance of a 24-hour on-site care presence makes Extra Care Housing an attractive option for many older people.\nCheshire East Council currently commissions the continuous on-site care provision within four Extra Care Housing schemes across the borough. The current care contracts are due to end on the 31st August 2027 and it is envisioned that tender for future contracts will go live in February 2027.",
