Summary of the contracting process

Wrexham County Borough Council has awarded a contract to provide an Older Persons Floating Support Service. This procurement, conducted using an open procedure, aims to deliver housing-related support services to older people living in their own homes across Wrexham County Borough. The awarded contract commenced on 1st October 2025 and will last for three years, with an extension option for an additional two years, ending by 30th September 2030 at the latest. The procurement falls under services within the social work and housing services categories. Located in Wrexham, UK, this contract was awarded to Age Connects North East Wales. The procurement is governed by the light-touch regime and ligated by UKPGA 2023/54.

This tender presents opportunities for growth for businesses within the social work and housing industries, especially those experienced in delivering support to older demographics. Companies well-suited for such tenders are those capable of managing large contracts over extended periods, potentially involving variations in the number of service recipients due to possible increases in grant funding. While the contract has been awarded, businesses should take note of similar future opportunities, particularly those interested in collaborating with public authorities like Wrexham County Borough Council and inclined towards expanding their service provisions in the Welsh region. The emphasis on quality over price within the selection criteria suggests a competitive edge for businesses offering high-quality support solutions.
