Essex County Council is seeking to establish a framework of suitably qualified and experienced organisations, or consortia of organisations (the Providers), who it can work with to extend the development of extra care housing schemes across the County.

The framework will allow the Council to commission extra care housing developments and associated services through a single end to end process in which the Providers will provide the capacity and ability to design, build, finance, operate and maintain schemes that are developed.

The extra care housing will provide safe and secure housing for people aged 55 or older with a care and/or support need or 18 to 55 with a learning and/or physical disability who require varying levels of care and support to enable them to live independently in a home environment.
