Summary of the contracting process

Newport City Council procured supported accommodation services, including floating support, for young people aged 16 to 25 and care leavers. The service covers two properties in Newport: a staffing hub on Llanthewy Road and a move-on setting on Stow Hill. The sites are intended to work together as a pathway for young people. Llanthewy Road provides more intensive support based on assessed social work needs, while Stow Hill supports progression to move-on accommodation. This is a social work service with accommodation (CPV 85311000). The council is the buyer and will use one provider for the service. The requirement is categorised as a service and is subject to the light-touch regime.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through an above-threshold open procedure. Three bids reached the final stage, including one from an SME. Llamau was selected on 18 August 2026 for £3,811,152 excluding VAT (£4,573,382 including VAT). The award is subject to a standstill period ending on 27 August 2026, with contract signature scheduled for 28 September 2026. The awarded contract is due to run from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2031, with a possible extension of up to three years, either in full or annually following review and consideration of the council’s requirements. Evaluation weighted quality at 60% and price at 40%.

For a future requirement of this type, credible suppliers would need to provide supported accommodation and floating support for young people aged 16 to 25 and care leavers across linked accommodation settings. The service model requires the ability to operate a staffed hub, provide more intensive support aligned with assessed social work needs, and manage a move-on setting that forms part of a progression pathway. Relevant organisations should be able to coordinate provision across properties in Newport, support young people towards greater independence, and demonstrate strong service quality alongside cost control. The competition attracted three final-stage bids, with one from an SME, indicating that the work can be approached by smaller capable providers as well as larger organisations.
