Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement contract described involves the Welsh Government's Corporate Procurement Services, based in Cardiff, for a homelessness support pilot in Wales. This initiative falls under the services category, specifically targeting community, social, and personal services, as well as health and social work services. The procurement process was conducted directly without competition, given the contract's below-threshold value. The main aim of the project is to deliver a homelessness support pilot, facilitated by philanthropic match funding, carried out by the third sector. The contract, awarded to Greater Change Community Interest Company, began on 1st October 2025 and is set to continue until 31st March 2027, with a gross contract value of £32,400.

This tender provides numerous opportunities for businesses, particularly those within the social service and third sector space, interested in leveraging their expertise in homelessness and social work. Organisations capable of offering flexible, responsive interventions would thrive in this environment, given the pilot's requirement for match funding and responsive support to individuals at risk. Additionally, small to medium enterprises (SMEs) that have existing collaborations with charities and organisations could find this tender particularly beneficial for business growth and demonstrating social innovation. The project emphasises collaboration and match funding, rewarding organisations capable of quick, impactful responses to social issues.

Notice Title

Homelessness Support pilot

Notice Description

Delivery of a homelessness support pilot in Wales that utilises philanthropic match funding to test whether a condition free (at point of receipt of support), third sector delivered, flexible and responsive intervention has a positive impact in terms of reducing homelessness and creating savings. The pilot will provide unconditional support through provision of small grants for those who are homeless or at risk of homelessness for specific goals, via referrals from partner charities or organisations working to support the individual. Funding is provided to the support service organisation to purchase a specific item(s) or to cover costs the individual needs to achieve their agreed goal. The intervention includes 100% match funding from the supplier for both the grant payments for referrals and for the administration costs of delivering the pilot.
