The ExtraCare Charitable Trust was established in 1988 and operates retirement villages and smaller housing developments around their Midlands base and further south. They currently have more than 3 800 homes within Housing Schemes and Villages at different locations. These are available to older people in their local area for affordable rent, shared ownership and leasehold sale.

ExtraCare is procuring on behalf of itself or on behalf of other bodies where ExtraCare is providing a consultancy or advisory service for the development of extracare housing.

This procurement process will establish 3 Frameworks, one each for Architectural, Employer's Agent and Cost Management and Mechanical and Electrical Consultancy Services. The frameworks will run for a period of 8 years and will provide the required consultancy services for Extracare's programmes for refurbishment of existing schemes and the construction of new build retirement facilities.

During the term of the framework that is being established for Architectural Services, Extracare will be undertaking both the development of new build retirement villages and the refurbishment of some of their older residential schemes. New schemes have an approximate development cost in the range of 44 000 000 GBP — 48 000 000 GBP and refurbishment schemes are anticipated to fall in the range of 800 000 GBP to 1 500 000 GBP. Extracare expects to commission a new retirement village scheme every 9-12 months and one refurbishment scheme each year. The Architectural Services Framework will have a minimum of 3 appointed Consultants and the selection process for the allocation of commissions is set out in the framework agreement in the Invitation to Tender (ITT) documentation. The ITT will include a Schedule of Fees to be completed by selected Consultants, covering both new build and refurbishment services.
