UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Vale of Glamorgan Council sought a housing-related floating support service for 22 units. The service is for people experiencing substance misuse issues and/or criminal justice issues, particularly those at risk of homelessness. It is intended to help service users access information, advice, support and resources, make informed choices, live independently and sustain their accommodation. Providers would develop tailored support plans addressing practical and emotional needs, with support adjusted to individual intensity and reduced as independence improves. The service must be needs-led, outcome-focused and time-scaled, with the provider monitoring all aspects of delivery. This is a health and social work service delivered in the Vale of Glamorgan. It falls under the light-touch regime and was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

The council reached the tender stage and invited offers through an open procedure, but the procurement and its single lot were subsequently cancelled. The stated reason was a material change in the specification and contract value. The estimated value was £1,015,000. The planned contract period was 1 March 2027 to 28 February 2030, with two 12-month extensions available and a maximum end date of 28 February 2032. Enquiries were due by 18 September 2026 at 12:00, and tenders by 9 October 2026 at 12:00. The intended award decision date was 8 December 2026. Evaluation was based on quality at 60%, price at 30% and community well-being benefits at 10%. Tenders were to be submitted electronically through Proactis, in English or Welsh.

This requirement suited organisations experienced in floating housing support, homelessness prevention, substance misuse services, criminal justice support or related social care. Strong candidates would be able to assess varied and changing needs, create and review tailored support plans, address practical and emotional barriers, and help people develop the skills needed for independent living and responsible participation in their communities. Providers also needed the operational capacity to deliver flexible support across 22 units, reduce intervention as outcomes improved, work in an outcome-focused and time-limited way, and monitor every aspect of service delivery. The opportunity was explicitly suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises. However, the procurement was cancelled because the specification and contract value were to change, so suppliers should look for a revised opportunity rather than prepare an offer against this one.

Notice Information

Notice Title

TESS 6 Floating Support Service: Substance misuse and Criminal justice issues & Newlands

Notice Description

This service specification applies to a 22- unit floating support service delivering flexible housing related support to people experiencing substance misuse issues and/or criminal justice issues. The aim of this project is to provide housing support to improve outcomes for people at risk of homelessness to access information, advice, support and resources to enable them to make informed choices. The service working with individual service users involves a tailored support plan that best meets their needs. The plan focuses on both practical and emotional issues, in order that each person has the best opportunity of living independently as a responsible member of their community. The service will work with the service user to develop that person's capacity to live independently in accommodation or sustain his/her ability to do so. While service users will have a variety and individual intensity of need, there is an expectation that support services will over time be reduced as service users achieve higher levels of independence. Therefore, support provision must be needs led, outcome focused and time scaled. The support provider will be responsible for monitoring all aspects of the services provided through the project.
