In plain English
Northumberland County Council is looking for a Registered Provider to build and manage four extra care housing schemes (for older people needing support) across four locations in Northumberland: Alnwick, Ashington, Blyth, and Cramlington. This is a large contract worth around £30 million that combines both construction and long-term management.
What the buyer wants
• Design, build and construct four new extra care housing schemes on specified sites (including a former school in Alnwick, a site in Ashington, Blyth, and Cramlington) • Manage and operate these schemes once built, providing support services to residents • You can bid for individual lots (one location) or multiple lots together
Lots
- LOT 1 - Former Lindisfarne School Site - Alnwick
- LOT 2 - Hunstanton, Ashington, NE63 9XJ.
- LOT 3 - Delaval Terrace, Blyth, NE24 1DL
- LOT 4 - The former St Paul's Roman Catholic First School, Cramlington, NE23 6DE
Likely requirements
Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.
This contract is almost certainly disqualified to most small businesses: you must be a Registered Provider (a housing association or similar body regulated by the Regulator of Social Housing), not a traditional construction company or trades business, and the £30 million value and complexity of building and operating four care schemes means only large, experienced housing providers can compete.
How to bid
This is an open tender: any eligible business can respond directly to the buyer by the deadline, with no framework membership needed.
