## Description
North Somerset Council invites suppliers to express their interest in participating in a market engagement exercise regarding the provision of Extra Care Housing services in Strawberry Gardens, Yatton. 
We are seeking feedback from providers to help inform the future commissioning and procurement of Extra Care Housing services. The information provided will be used to understand the current market, identify opportunities and challenges, and support the development of any future procurement approach. Participation does not form part of any formal procurement process and will not be evaluated as part of any future tender exercise.
Extra care housing is housing designed with the needs of older people in mind and with varying levels of care and support available on site.  Residents of extra care housing have their own self-contained homes, their own front doors, and a legal right to occupy the property.  Extra care housing is not a care home.  There is an on-site care provider who will deliver care and support to the residents of the development with a view to enabling clients to remain as independent as possible in their own home.  The care provider is also available for any emergency calls required by the clients.
North Somerset Council is committed to offering extra care housing as an alternative to residential care for those people who can no longer manage in their current home due to their care needs.  
Suppliers wishing to participate in this market engagement exercise should click the "Express an Interest" button on Supplying the South West portal, complete the Market Engagement Questionnaire, and return it via Supplying the South West portal by Monday 2nd November 2026, no later than 17:00hrs. 
Please note: Under the new Procurement Act 2023, the Government has introduced the Central Digital Platform (CDP). All suppliers must be registered on the CDP to participate in procurement opportunities. Further details are provided in the attached Proactis and Central Digital Platform Information Slides.
