Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Supported Living Service for Adults with Mental Health Needs" is managed by Wrexham County Borough Council, a sub-central government authority operating under Welsh devolved regulations. The process has undergone several stages, starting with planning, moving through tender, and concluding with the award and active contract stage as of January 2026. The procurement was conducted via an open procedure, focusing on services within the health and social work industry category. This contract involves providing a supported living service in Wrexham, UK (region UKL23), with a commencement date of 13 January 2026 and extending up to 31 December 2033, with potential renewals up to 2036. Key milestones included a submission deadline on 18 November 2025, reflecting a structured approach to this procurement activity.

This tender offers significant business growth opportunities, particularly for businesses experienced in mental health care and supported living services. The competitive open procedure allowed participation from a diverse range of suppliers and saw the submission of multiple bids, including from SMEs. The successful bidder, Independent Clinical Services Limited trading as Thornbury Nursing, demonstrated capacity to meet the Council's requirements for providing recovery-focused, person-centred support. Businesses that can offer related services, particularly those that align with the Social Services and Well-being (Wales) Act 2014, stand a good chance of engaging in similar future opportunities, encouraging strategic partnerships with housing and mental health sectors as part of Wrexham's ongoing Housing Support Programme Strategy.
