The procurement of a care provider to provide care services once the original care contract has expired will be led by the Contracting Authority in collaboration with the Strategic Partner.
The strategic partner is responsible for raising finance to include securing third party funding, such as private investment or Homes England funding (if applicable).
Alongside procuring a strategic partner for the delivery of the services set out above, the Contracting Authority wishes to also procure a Framework Agreement for it and other public and private bodies that wish to design, fund, construct and operate (include providing care services) extra care facilities in Cornwall can call-off from. The Contracting Authority intends to appoint each strategic partner which is awarded the strategic partnership contract in each lot a place on the framework. The framework providers will be able to provide services across Cornwall and not just in the region(s) for which they are the strategic partner.

Published award criteria (2)
- Quality: 70
- Price: 30
- Price carries 30 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 3 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
- “Strategic partners for the development, delivery and operation of…” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, not a single contract.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.

Publisher note: The Contracting Authorities Contract Notice (OJ S: 2019/S 023-050662) and procurement documents set out that: • The Strategic Partner will be responsible for providing care services in the extra care units which will be delivered under a separate care contract with the Contracting Authority, and • Where one tenderer bids for two or three lots the tenderer’s strategic partnership proposal must include at least two different care providers across the lots. Section V: Award of Contract in this Contract Award Notice confirms that the Contracting Authority received one tender in each of the three lots from the same supplier (Mears Limited). As the same supplier bid for all three lots, their strategic partnership proposal for each lot included two different care providers (a main and reserve care provider) in the one tender. The two care providers (Mears Extra Care Limited and Care Operations Limited) would be under a separate contract as a main and reserve care provider with the combined value of two care contracts in each lot (V2.4 of this Contract Award Notice) being in a range up to 117,000,000GBP.
