two.1) Scope of the procurement
two.1.1) Title
Provision of Care and Support at Newton House Extra Care Housing Scheme in Penrith
Reference number
DN764591
two.1.2) Main CPV code
- 85300000 - Social work and related services
two.1.3) Type of contract
Services
two.1.4) Short description
The Provider shall ensure it delivers the Services at all times in compliance with the Care Act
2014. Furthermore, the Provider shall deliver the Services in a manner that ensures the
Council complies with its obligations under the Care Act 2014 so far as such obligations
relate to the Services.
In Westmorland and Furness the term 'extra care' housing is used to describe housing
developments that comprise self-contained homes with design features and support
services to enable people to self-care and continue to live independently. The 'extra' in extra
care housing is generally recognised to be access to care services that can:
• Respond quickly to residents changing needs
• Provide unplanned care as and when required in addition to planned care
• Provide an emergency response.
People who live in Extra Care housing have their own self-contained homes - usually with a
lounge, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom and access to care staff 24 hours a day, 7 days a
week. There are also communal facilities and activities available.
For many people, Extra Care housing is the ideal solution as it means that they live in a home
of their own, can stay together as a couple even with different levels of need, live as part of a
supportive environment, in a location situated in the heart of the local community, but with
the added reassurance that help is at hand. Extra Care housing allows people to move out of
houses, where they are finding it difficult to cope, into a home where they can be secure and
live independently. In some situations Extra Care Housing also allows people to move out of
residential care and return to independent living.
