UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Cardiff Council is in the planning stages for a procurement process concerning the provision of Supported Accommodation Services for individuals with complex needs, set to be located in Cardiff, United Kingdom. The procurement falls under the social work and related services industry category and is governed by Welsh devolved regulations and the Renting Homes (Wales) Act. The process seeks to secure support services that would operate 74 accommodation units, targeting vulnerable single individuals. The procurement timeline expects the contract period to begin on 1 April 2026, running until 31 March 2031, with potential renewal extending the term to March 2033. Key dates include a deadline for stakeholder engagement responses by 7 July 2025 and an anticipated future tender notice by 1 October 2025.

This tender provides substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in social care, property management, or those with experience in handling support services for individuals with complex needs. Companies with a background in providing 24/7 support and facilitating integration into permanent accommodation via private or social housing stand well-positioned to compete. The procurement's emphasis on better managing anti-social behaviour and engaging clients with necessary health and substance misuse services also makes it a promising opportunity for growth in related sectors. Firms with capability in mixed-gender accommodation catering to additional needs like disability access and pet policies will find this tender particularly attractive, offering a substantial annual budget of up to £1,187,492, contingent upon funding confirmation.

Notice Title

Supported Accommodation Service - Huggard and Tressillian

Notice Description

Cardiff Council is seeking to tender for Supported Accommodation Services aimed at single individuals with complex needs. The tender will award the support aspect of service only. The tender focuses on support services for complex needs clients, with a contract duration of up to 7 years and an approximate annual budget of up to PS1,187,492 subject to funding confirmation. 74 units of accommodation are required on no more than 2 sites, ensuring that the facilities meet specific requirements for vulnerable clients. The preference is self-contained accommodation; sites with shared facilities or bed spaces would be considered. A review would be carried out to ensure standards. The provision requires a Critical Intervention Centre (CIC) and a single point of contact for people with complex needs and compound traumas who are sleeping rough or transitioning from sleeping rough into as Critical Time Intervention (CTI) accommodation. Having single management of the Intervention Centre and all accommodation services enables better understanding of who needs to be accessing services/accommodation on-site and facilitate better interventions to those who need to be signposted or encouraged to access services elsewhere. The service also will help to manage anti-social behaviour in the vicinity of the site which can currently be intimidating to those who need to access services, and the wider community. Examples of some services would include needle exchange services and some in-reach health provision. Clients would present with complex needs and require support with ensuring engagement and access to substance misuse services, mental health services and engagement with Probation services. Each client will have a personalised housing support plan reviewed every 12 weeks set by staff. The plan would look to map the journey and secure move-on to permeant accommodation via the private rented sector or social housing. The contractor will handle housing management agreements, set rents, and address anti-social behaviour, while all client allocations will be managed by Cardiff Council's Single Persons Gateway. Compliance with the Renting Homes (Wales) Act is mandatory. The property must provide self-contained units where possible and include communal spaces for sessional work. It should be mixed-gender with provision for disability access and pet-friendly policies. The site(s) must be ready and available for immediate use at the point of awarding contract. While the Council has access to a site, there is no guarantee that like for like buildings will be available for use.
