Summary of the contracting process

The City & County of Swansea has completed the award stage of a public procurement process for a Framework Agreement concerning the provision of tenancy-based care and support, specifically supported living for persons with disabilities. This initiative falls under the social services category and targets the UKL18 region. The procurement adhered to an open procedure, ensuring transparency and fair competition. The total procurement was valued at £2.5 billion, initiated earlier and officially signed on 27th January 2025. The framework agreement facilitates support services aiming to enable adults with disabilities to reside in their own homes, reinforcing independence and community living. Following the open tender process, several providers have been contracted to deliver the services.

This procurement presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in care and support services within the social services sector. Large organisations and consortia, particularly those experienced in providing social work services and supported living arrangements, would find this lucrative due to the scale and duration of the framework agreement. The inclusion of various suppliers such as Cartrefi Cymru Cooperative Limited, DIMENSIONS CYMRU LIMITED, and WALSINGHAM SUPPORT, among others, demonstrates a diverse range of providers benefitting from this public contract. This framework not only solidifies long-term business opportunities but also enhances service delivery in the disability care sector within the Swansea region, encouraging capability expansion and collaboration amongst service providers.

This period will extend to 15 calendar days for communication by non-electronic means. Applicants who are unsuccessful shall be informed by the Council as soon as possible after the decision has been made. Should additional information be required it should be requested of the addressee in section I.1. If an appeal regarding the award of the contract has not been successfully resolved, The Public Contracts Regulations 2015 provide for aggrieved parties who have been harmed or are at risk of harm by breach of the rules to take action in the High Court (England, Wales, and Northern Ireland). Any such action must be brought promptly (generally within 30days). Where a contract has not been entered into, the Court may order the setting aside of the award decision or order the Council to amend any document and may award damages. If the contract has been entered into the Court may, depending on the circumstances, award damages, make a declaration of ineffectiveness, order the Council to pay a civil financial penalty, and/or order that the duration of the contract be shortened. If a declaration of ineffectiveness is sought, any such action must be brought within 30 days where the Council has communicated the award of the contract and a summary of reasons to tenderers, or otherwise within 6 months. The purpose of the standstill period referred to above is to allow the parties to apply to the Courts to set aside the award decision before the contract is entered into.",
