Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by Bridgend County Borough Council pertains to the provision of care and support services within an Extra Care Housing Scheme located in Kenfig Hill, Bridgend. The contract, managed through an open procedure, is part of the council's commitment to enhancing community-based supported accommodation models that align with the preventive and reablement agendas dictated by Welsh Government policies. With a gross value of £4,014,360 and a contract duration from 1st June 2026 to 31st May 2029—offering a possible extension up to 2032—this project falls under the 'services' industry category, specifically 'social work and related services' (CPV code: 85300000). The procurement is governed under Welsh devolved regulations and has recently moved into the award stage, with Cartrefi Cymru Co-operative securing the active contract as of 1st April 2026. The contract envisages a focus on enabling individuals to live independently within their homes while fostering quality of life improvements.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses equipped to offer domiciliary care and support services tailored to individuals with varying needs, including cognitive decline and sensory impairment. Ideal candidates are enterprises versed in community-based care solutions, particularly those willing to collaborate with Bridgend CBC and other registered social landlords to integrate service users into their local communities. The procurement method encourages participation from SMEs and voluntary community and social enterprises (VCSEs). The process emphasises technical quality and commercial evaluation criteria, with an award weighting of 80% towards a technical evaluation involving method statements and interviews. Interested parties can leverage this contract to expand their business footprints in supportive housing solutions in the UK, demonstrating alignment with the buyer’s emphasis on voice, choice, and control for maximising client outcomes.
