Wells, intends to seek a private sector partner in relation to the design,
build, finance and operation of extra care housing and other forms of
supported housing within the Kent area.
The project is a non-HRA housing PFI which will deliver extra care

high and growing demand for this type of housing. The private sector
partner will be required to be the landlord of the tenants in the units.

The acommodation will be predominantly provided for rent but there may be
some scope for the provision of units for private sale or shared
ownership.
The contract is expected to be in place for around 30 years and will cover
the finance, build, hard and soft facilities maintenance and operation of
this accommodation, including housing management services. The contract
will not include care or housing related support, however the contracting
authority may consider variant bids which include care and/or housing
support services.
The contract will be procured and managed by the contracting authority on
behalf of the County and the five District and Borough Council partners.
The contracting authority, rather than any of the District or Borough
Council partners, will therefore enter into the Project Agreement with the
private sector partner. The contracting authority and the District Borough
