EXTRA CARE HOUSING MARKET ENGAGEMENT EVENT

Plymouth City Council will be holding market engagement events with organisations interested in
providing care and support services within our Extra Care Housing schemes across the city.
We would like to invite you to attend one of our market engagement events for the Plymouth Extra
Care Housing contract. The engagement events will be held virtually with additional plans being
finalised to host in person open day events, providing an opportunity to visit the schemes. Further
details will be shared at the virtual engagement sessions. In person events are likely to be scheduled
between 28th April 2025 and 9th May 2025.
Virtual Engagement Sessions
17th April 2025: 11.30am – 12.30pm (MS Teams)
25th April 2025: 2pm – 3pm (MS Teams)
During the virtual sessions, we will describe our aims in terms of the contract and the procurement
activity and timeframes and provide an opportunity for questions and answers.
We are striving for a service where:
• People are supported to continue to live independently;
• People are supported individually so that they can lead as natural and independent a life as
possible behind the privacy of their own door;
• People with complex needs associated with dementia and physical and mental disability receive
skilled services that help them maintain and enjoy an active life;
• A more independent lifestyle may be facilitated for some, whereas the provision of a
continually supportive environment will be a key factor for others;
• People are supported to achieve their desired level of involvement with their local community;
• People are supported to maintain or gain independent living skills following periods of illness
and so prevent hospital admission or readmission;
• People are supported to evaluate and manage their own risk and to establish their preferred
priorities;
• People passing through the Pathways flats (where applicable) will receive individualised care
and support with the aim of achieving a positive outcome for continued independent living;
• The promotion and facilitation of flexible telecare solutions to achieve a wide range of
responses to meeting people’s needs;
• The allocation of accommodation and the movement of people into/out of the scheme are
efficiently and effectively handled and the service will work in partnership with the housing
providers.
• Good partnership working with the Housing Provider will be achieved to ensure a fully
utilised, safe and well-coordinated environment where people enjoy living.
