FPS for Care and Support Services within Extra Care Housing in Devon

Descriptions

Devon County Council (DCC) is opening Round 2 of its Flexible Purchasing System (FPS) for Extra Care providers. Successful Providers will be registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC) for the regulatory activity of 'personal care', and able to provide care and support services to adults living within Extra Care Housing (ECH) schemes across Devon.

In DCC the term 'Extra Care' housing is used to describe housing developments that comprise self-contained homes with design features and support services to enable people to self-care and continue to live independently. Whilst they are primarily for older people some may support younger people with disabilities. Service Providers will be required to staff an onsite and exclusive team at the individual Extra Care schemes that they are appointed to, and must occupy an onsite office space and be registered as a specific location with the CQC.

Services will be comprised of:
• Core provision to ensure care and support cover 24-hours a day including social inclusion and response to unplanned care needs
• The provision of one-to-one care and support that a significant number of people living in Extra Care Housing require and which has been assessed as being eligible within Adult Social Page 4 to 6 Care Fair Access to Care Assessment.

Currently DCC commissions support into six schemes across the Council's footprint totalling 304 flats.

An additional 3 services are currently planned or in development

Further schemes are at planning stage and anticipated to be completed within the lifetime of the FPS.
Devon County Council are holding a market engagement discussion session on 24th February 2026.
