Preliminary market engagement for extra care schemes
Authority: Liverpool City Council (Local council)
What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionThe Council is only looking to engage with current or future providers of Extra Care settings who are also able to offer extra care services within their settings.
The primary objective is to identify and engage with providers who currently operate Extra Care settings that include on-site care teams. We are particularly interested in understanding the availability, scope, and operational models of such services, as well as any barriers or opportunities that may influence future commissioning.
This engagement will help inform the Council's strategic planning and ensure that future services align with the needs of our local population. The Council does not currently have any plans to run a competitive procurement exercise for these services.
