The contract will require the construction of a 60 unit extra-care facility on a green field site in Newark, Nottinghamshire. The scheme is being developed by Newark and Sherwood Homes Limited on behalf of Newark and Sherwood District Council and is expected to benefit from grants from Nottinghamshire County Council (NCC) and the Homes and Communities Agency (HCA). The scheme specification is to accommodate the requirements of NCC and HCA and is expected to see a high standard of quality design in order to become a ‘landmark’ building within the area. The contractor must therefore be able to lead the construction of this quality product and interpret the aspirations of the Council and stakeholders in terms of the aesthetics as well as internal and external environments. The scheme is to incorporate the Design Standards of the Council, the HCA, Nottinghamshire County Council, HAPPI and The Dementia Design Guidance published by the University of Stirling. Consequently the Council is expecting interest from contractors with experience in delivering extra care facilities with a focus on residents with dementia or similar care support needs.
