Bristol City Council has launched a tender process to develop a dementia care home and extra care housing (ECH)  through a PPP project.

The project will be developed at New Fosseway Road, Hengrove, Bristol. It involves the design, build, finance and operation for a period of 15 years with optional extensions for two periods of an additional 5 years (15+5+5). The preferred bidder will be responsible for:

• design and construction of the care home and ECH;
• provision of dementia care home services (including residential, nursing, respite and reablement care) and ECH services;
• provision of necessary finance;
• any other ancillary or associated works and services that the Council require to facilitate the delivery of the project;

It is anticipated that the Council will have nomination rights of between 55 % to 85 % of the bed places in respect of the care home, although the Council reserves the right to agree a percentage outside of this range.

The project has an investment range between £42.4 and £65.1  million.

Interested parties must submit their proposals on or before 4 July 2014.
