New Lodge Background Support Services
Authority: JOSEPH ROWNTREE HOUSING TRUST (Housing)
What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionNew Lodge Extra Care Housing Scheme is a community set in its own grounds in the garden village of New Earswick, located 2.5 miles north of York’s historic city centre. New Lodge was opened by the Joseph Rowntree Trust (JRHT) in 2019, and is a purpose-built set of 105 extra care apartments and a registered care home (Rowntree Lodge).
Extra Care schemes allow residents to live independently with the reassurance that staff are on site as required. The requirement of Extra Care schemes include that residents should be able to access background/ad-hoc support 24/7. Any individual resident who wants to have an individual planned package of care can organise this, and residents retain the choice of who provides this care.
JRHT wishes to commission a 3rd party care provider who they will pay directly to be based on site 24/7 to provide specific elements of ad hoc/background support. JRHT will pay the new provider directly for this service, which is currently partially funded via collection of a support charge that all residents, regardless of individual needs, contribute to.
We would also encourage residents to transfer their current individual planned packages of care, to this new provider if they so wish and we are looking for a new provider who has capacity to take on these packages and enter into new contracts with residents.
There is also a commercially beneficial opportunity for the new provider to run an outreach service of domiciliary care to New Earswick and beyond from New Lodge, something which JRHT did historically from the nearby Hartrigg Oaks.
For the extra care apartments, JRHT will remain the landlord and have staff presence on site for landlord roles. We would anticipate the new care provider and JRHT will work closely together to prioritise the needs of residents and embrace the ethos of extra care.
Once a new provider of ad hoc/background support is appointed, JRHT no longer intends to hold a CQC registration for New Lodge and would expect the new provider to hold this.
Please note for individual planned packages of care only, residents have the right of choice and may choose an alternative provider and therefore these hours cannot be guaranteed.

How JOSEPH ROWNTREE HOUSING TRUST buys Social work services (CPV 8531), and who usually turns up
JOSEPH ROWNTREE HOUSING TRUST has little published record in this market. Frameworks and DPS are left out: they draw different bid counts. Whole-market view: Social work services (CPV 8531) →
How the contest usually goes
Winner shares use published awards; bid and price charts use contested lots.
i
How often small and medium firms win.
Share of awards where the winner’s size is known.
The counts under this question show how many awards have a known supplier size.
Small firms have won here. Neither number says whether you qualify; it describes who has been winning.
i
How often local firms win similar work.
Winners with a registered address in the delivery region, out of awards with a known address.
Local means the winner is registered in the region where that award was delivered. The market figure counts awards delivered in Yorkshire and the Humber.
A local branch does not count if the registered address is elsewhere.
Most of this buyer’s recorded winners were registered outside the region where that award was delivered.
i
How long buyers here take to decide after bids close.
Middle value in days from the bid deadline to the award date, on competitions that published both.
Only decided tenders count, so slow ones still waiting are not in.
Half of these awards have an award date within 48 days of the bid deadline.
i
How often work is awarded with no recorded rival.
Direct awards and tenders where every published lot count shows one bid.
The market share is a minimum: some awards have no bid count.
Thin markets produce this too; it is not proof of a tailored specification.
Direct awards or one recorded bid are common here. Check the route before spending time on a bid.

About this data
- Source. Official UK public procurement notices (Find a Tender), reused under the Open Government Licence v3.0. New notices arrive through the day; the figures are rebuilt nightly.
- Two views, kept apart. The authority’s own track record and the wider market for the same kind of work sit side by side and are never mixed. Where the local picture is too thin, a figure widens to a broader market and says which one it used.
- Forecasts are labelled. The price forecast and its range, possible competitors and the earlier-work matches are our estimates from past awards: not published facts, not win chances and not price advice. Official notices do not say who is bidding.
- Every figure shows what it rests on. Not every notice publishes a bid count, a value or a delivery region, so each figure carries the number of records behind it, and one built on few records is marked as such. The on a figure explains it; the counting rules are in the methodology. Spotted something wrong? Tell us.
