Working Age Adults Care Home Services
Notice Description
Carmarthenshire County Council, in collaboration with regional partners Pembrokeshire County Council and Ceredigion County Council, is developing a regional Framework for Working Age Adult Care Home services across West Wales. The proposed Framework will be structured into three service Lots, reflecting the primary client groups: Lot 1: Learning Disabilities, including Autism Lot 2: Mental Health Lot 3: Physical Disabilities Providers may apply for one or more Lots, depending on their area of expertise and service provision. The Lots are intended to support a more structured and consistent approach to commissioning across the region, ensuring that services can meet a range of needs for working age adults. The proposed Framework will be open to: Providers with existing care home provision within the region; and/or Providers who intend to establish a care home service within the region within the next 12 months Providers joining the Framework will be required to demonstrate a commitment to supporting citizens from across the West Wales region and prioritising regional placements.
Planning Information
A provider information event will be held via Microsoft Teams on 1st July 2026, 10:00am to 12:00pm. The purpose of this event is to present key information relating to current commissioning arrangements and future proposals. The session will provide an overview of: - Current commissioning challenges, including market capacity, placement arrangements and identified gaps in provision - The rationale for moving to a more structured, outcome‑focused commissioning model - Proposals for the development of a new regional framework, including aligned contractual arrangements and a consistent regional fee model - The procurement process and available tendering support Please note that this event is primarily an information‑sharing session. Opportunities for clarification questions will be provided; however, this is not a formal consultation stage. To attend, please register your interest by emailing: SCHHContracting@carmarthenshire.gov.uk, including your name and organisation.
