About

Dorset Council awarded a contract to Apex Prime Care Ltd for the delivery of high-quality, outcome-led care and support services across several extra care housing (ECH) sites and schemes.

The contract, valued at £13,650,392, is for an initial period of five years, with an option to extend by two further periods of one year each.

The procurement aimed to appoint a single strategic-level provider to serve four existing extra care housing and housing with care schemes, as well as new ECH developments over the next five years through a proposed ECH Development Partnership.

The service model requires 24/7 on-site care teams, self-contained apartments, communal facilities, and hot meals, catering to adults with a wide range of care needs, including end-of-life care, learning disabilities, and mental health issues.

The contract addresses the need for a consistent 24/7 model to support Dorset's most vulnerable residents, with existing tenants potentially experiencing changes in service levels and increased core support charges for self-funders.
