Summary of the contracting process

The City & County of Swansea has awarded a contract for the provision of a Refugee Resettlement Programmes' Orientation Service. This contract, classified under social services (CPV: 85320000), is focused on supporting refugees arriving through UK Government Resettlement Programmes, including the Homes for Ukraine initiative. The procurement process, conducted via an open procedure, has been completed, and the contract has been awarded to the Ethnic Youth Support Team Wales. The service will be delivered in Swansea (region UKL18), with the contract signed on 12 February 2025, following a procurement process that included all relevant review and standstill periods as per the Public Contracts Regulations 2015.

This tender represents a significant growth opportunity for businesses specialising in social services, particularly those with capabilities in guidance, interpretation, and translation services (CPV: 85312310, 79540000, 79530000). The awarded contract, valued at £2.05 million, offers a substantial financial incentive and the chance to work closely with local authorities on a high-impact social initiative. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) like the Ethnic Youth Support Team Wales, who successfully secured the contract, are well-suited to compete, especially those with experience in delivering comprehensive community support and orientation programmes for refugees and migrants.

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."
