Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for a "Hoarding Support Service" is currently in the planning phase and is being managed by Torfaen County Borough Council. The service aims to provide key support to adults dealing with hoarding and property condition issues under the Welsh Government’s Housing Support Grant Programme. Scheduled to officially open for solicitation by February 2026, this procurement is guided by the Welsh devolved regulations. Interested parties should attend a Market Engagement Event on 16th October 2025 at Civic Centre, Pontypool, with pre-registration required by 10th October 2025. The project is based in the UKL16 region, and its focus lies within the "Health and social work services" industry category.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) due to its emphasis on community support services. Businesses with expertise in health and housing services that can provide practical advice and support tailored to individuals struggling with hoarding will find this procurement especially advantageous. Such involvement may enable businesses to expand their portfolio and impact within the sector, with the contract entailing a potential renewal for services starting from October 2026 and lasting until October 2031, with extensions available up to September 2034. The total estimated contract value is £1,632,000, illustrating a considerable potential for business growth.
