Summary of the contracting process

The Reflect Project is a contract procured by Carmarthenshire County Council, aiming to deliver a trauma-informed, recovery-oriented social care support service for parents, predominantly mothers who have faced the removal of children due to care proceedings. The scope covers the regions of Carmarthenshire, Pembrokeshire, Ceredigion, and Powys in the United Kingdom, falling under the industry category of health and social work services. This procurement, initially planned, has progressed through the tender and award stages with the contract signed on 18 February 2026. Key timelines include a contract period from 1 April 2026 through 31 March 2029, with potential renewal subject to funding. The procurement was conducted using an open procedure, under the "light touch" regime, with the value of the contract grossing at £916,312.

This tender provides fertile ground for businesses specialising in social care services to expand their portfolio, especially those experienced in trauma recovery and support for vulnerable populations. Enterprises, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), are encouraged due to the nature of the contract selection criteria that support these entities. The awarded supplier, Action for Children, is a large organisation known for working within these frameworks, highlighting the project's suitability for established social service providers. There is an emphasis on technical excellence and quality, offering significant opportunities for companies focused on delivering high-quality care services to engage with local government and expand their regional presence.
