Summary of the contracting process

Pembrokeshire County Council is planning a procurement process for a project titled "Provision of a Generic Support Service," focusing on social work and related services. This opportunity falls under the services industry category and will be held in the United Kingdom, specifically in the region of UKL1. The procurement is currently in the planning stage, as announced on 23 May 2025. The planned contract period is from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2030, with a maximum extension possible until 30 June 2033. Future notices regarding this tender are expected by 5 December 2025. The procurement process aligns with the UKPGA 2023/54 legal basis and will be conducted under a special 'light touch' regime, adhering to Welsh devolved regulations.

This tender presents substantial business growth opportunities, particularly for companies specialising in social work services. With an estimated gross value of £2,772,000, this contract is above the threshold and suitable for SMEs and VCSEs. Businesses that provide support services in social sectors or have experience with governmental contracts are well-positioned to compete, especially those familiar with the requirements of sub-central government authorities. Pembrokeshire County Council's emphasis on a 'light touch' procurement method may allow for more innovative service delivery approaches and flexibility in meeting the contract requirements.
