Planning notice update published 10 February 2026. Stated change: The estimated contract length has been reduced. The Council recognises that information contained within this notice represents a change from previous communications. To ensure the success of intended transformational work, the Council must be confident that the market is resilient enough to adapt to and implement such significant changes. Feedback from providers across Cheshire East indicates that additional time is needed to effectively implement a new care model. Maintaining continuity of essential care services is critical for our residents, and the Council has a responsibility to support the current market while preparing it for future contractual arrangements. It is this responsibility, alongside our commitment to the wellbeing of residents, that has informed the decision to amend the length of this contract with a view to implement the wider transformational model when this contract ends.

Planning notice update published 8 May 2026. Stated change: Providers currently delivering services under the CEC Care at Home Framework will join a new closed short term framework via a direct award in accordance with PA23 section 41, schedule 5 paragraph 7. Please refer to transparency notice 2026/S 000-036449. The tender publish date for the full transformational framework has been pushed back to April 2028 to provide CEC with critical time to plan and implement this transformational approach, ensuring that future mobilisation of the Neighbourhood Model can be undertaken in a managed way that allows providers sufficient time to prepare for, and adapt to, the new service model. Previous pipeline notices informed the market of the Councils intention to merge the Extra Care Support Service with the Care at Home Service, however this is now under review to ensure that any model going forward meets the needs of the borough and supports a stable market place.
