Decision details

A key element in achieving the Community Vision for Surrey 2030 is Adult Social Care’s Right Homes Right Support (formerly know as Accommodation with Care and Support Strategy) (RHRS), which was endorsed by the Council’s Cabinet in July 2019. The RHRS Strategy aims to deliver sufficient units of affordable extra care housing to reduce SCC’s reliance on traditional residential and nursing care over the next ten years.

For older people with care and support needs, this means increasing the availability of extra care housing across all tenures, with a commitment to achieve an additional 725 social rent units by 2030. Once operational the Council will be required to commission Care and Support services into each of the sites delivered.

Approval to procure a Contract for the delivery of Extra Care – Care and Support was granted by cabinet via the 2023/2024 Annual Procurement Forward Plan (Minute Ref 206/22).

Decision made:

Reasons for the decision:

The award of Contracts to the successful bidders is consistent with the aims of the Right Homes Right Support strategy which was approved by Cabinet in July 2019.
