Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, led by Carmarthenshire County Council, focused on the provision of "Resettlement Support Services" primarily under the industry category of health and social work services. Located in the United Kingdom, specifically the region of UKL14, the process advanced from the tender stage initiated on 24th October 2025 to the award and contract stages by early 2026. The procurement followed an open procedure method under a special regime of light touch, with crucial dates including the awarding of the contract on 27th January 2026 and the contract period slated to begin on 6th April 2026, running until 5th April 2031, with a possible extension up to 2033 subject to funding and performance. Carmarthenshire County Council, classified as a public authority under the sub-central government, ensures Welsh devolved regulations are adhered to within this process.

This tender creates significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those with experience in providing community and social services. SMEs and VCSEs with a strong track record of supporting asylum seekers and refugees are well-positioned to benefit from such contracts, given the focus on delivering comprehensive support, including tenancy assistance and access to essential services like health, education, and welfare. The procurement, with a gross value of over £1.1 million and a provision for electronic submissions in both English and Welsh, fosters inclusivity and broad participation. Companies equipped to operate under a public service mission and capable of addressing community and individual needs stand to leverage such opportunities for growth and contribute positively to societal integration efforts.
