What the buyer says
The Council is seeking to better understand the current market position and level of provider interest in delivering a 24-hour care and support service within an Extra Care Housing setting in the south of Buckinghamshire. The scheme comprises 75 affordable rented Extra Care apartments, which form part of a larger mixed-tenure Extra Care development, including both affordable and privately occupied accommodation. Through this Request for Information (RFI), the Council wishes to explore provider appetite, capability and potential operating models for delivering care and support within this environment. In particular, the Council is seeking to understand the market's approach to managing varying occupancy levels and associated void risk. Providers are invited to outline how their organisation manages occupancy and voids within Extra Care schemes, including whether they would be willing to assume all or part of the financial risk associated with unoccupied units, and any assumptions, limitations or commercial arrangements that would support such an approach. The information gathered through this exercise will help inform the Council's future commissioning intentions and provide a clearer understanding of the viability, sustainability and affordability of alternative service delivery models.
