Summary of the contracting process

Blaenau Gwent County Borough Council procured round-the-clock housing-related support at Ty Parc, its homelessness hostel in Blaenau Gwent. The service supports people aged 16 and over, including single people, couples and families who are homeless or at risk of homelessness and owe a housing duty to the council. Alongside emergency accommodation, the provider helps residents find suitable longer-term housing, build the skills to live independently and move on from the hostel in a planned way. Stays are intended to be short, typically under six months. Residents moving into their own accommodation may then use separately commissioned floating support. The work is a health and social care service, delivered at Ty Parc in Blaenau Gwent, Wales.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Codi Care and Support. The council used an open procedure, with an accelerated timetable for a light-touch service. Two bids were received. Quality accounted for 80% of the evaluation and price for 20%. The single lot had an estimated value of £1,755,148 excluding VAT; the awarded value was £1,836,246.66 excluding VAT (£2,203,496 including VAT). The award was dated 17 February 2026. The contract was signed on 15 May 2026 and runs from 18 May 2026 to 1 April 2031. The original lot terms allowed a two-year extension in annual increments, dependent on performance and funding; the contract period extends to 2031. The service was identified as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises.

This award shows demand from Blaenau Gwent Council for continuous, person-centred support linked to emergency homelessness accommodation. A credible future provider would need the capacity to staff a 24-hour service and support people with varied circumstances, including families, couples and single adults aged 16 and over. Relevant strengths include helping residents secure suitable housing, build practical skills for independent living and move on in a planned way, while keeping hostel stays as short as possible. The evaluation put substantially greater weight on technical quality than price, so demonstrable service quality and a clear delivery approach matter more than competing on cost alone. The council identified the work as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, and the award went to a large provider. The requirement is a single, substantial service rather than a collection of separate lots.
