We have identified that there is currently a 450 shortfall of beds in the market place which will be met by the three work streams as outlined below. There are severe pressures on the Council's statutory services and accommodation provision for older people, which is in turn putting pressure on financial budgets. With increases in population and inflation there will be a significant shortfall in suitable accommodation if the way in which services are delivered do not change. The Council must therefore transform its accommodation strategy for older people. Cambridgeshire County Council has identified a significant shortage of residential and nursing care provision throughout the County and is looking to secure long-term, good quality, affordable placements. In order to address the gap in provision, the Council has identified the following three work streams: - Maximise capacity for Council provision through the extended use of block contracts - Commissioning arrangements with providers to extend capacity in Cambridgeshire - Delivery model to develop additional residential and nursing beds within new residential and nursing home provision within Cambridgeshire. This opportunity is with regards to work stream 2 where the Council is interested in hearing from Care Home providers who are interested in or have plans to increase capacity in Cambridgeshire. Cambridgeshire County Council is looking for expressions of interest from providers to inform our commissioning and procurement strategy. This would suit providers of existing care homes who want to extend their current capacity and we are looking to increase the capacity in as many locations as possible. The Council anticipates that it would commission a proportion of the additional capacity in each location and the rest would be available to the self-funder market. To express an interest please complete the questionnaire that can be found at [lgssprocurementportal.co.uk](https://www.lgssprocurementportal.co.uk) (ref: DN306818) and return to by Friday 5th January 2018.
