Summary of the contracting process

Merthyr Tydfil County Borough Council has completed a contracting process for the "Families First Family Support" services in the realm of health and social work services. The contract, awarded to Home-start Cymru for Families, is situated in the UKL15 region and follows the limited procurement method, which indicates a below-threshold, limited competition process. The contract is active from 21st May 2026 to 31st March 2029, with potential extensions possible up to 10th March 2030. The total gross value of the contract amounts to £429,000.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in family support services within the health and social work sector. Particularly, organisations with experience in delivering large-scale services are well-positioned to benefit from this contract, owing to its substantial value and extended duration. Businesses involved in community service provision, especially those based or operating in Wales, can leverage this opportunity to expand their service offerings and enhance their growth potential in the public sector. The closed competition nature implies that having established relationships or pre-qualification status with public authorities could be advantageous in similar future procurements.
