Summary of the contracting process

Vale of Glamorgan Council is procuring a floating housing-support service for 22 units under TESS 6, focused on people experiencing substance misuse and/or criminal justice issues. The service is intended to support people at risk of homelessness to access information, advice, support and resources, make informed choices, live independently and sustain their accommodation. Providers will work with each service user on a tailored support plan covering practical and emotional needs. Support should be needs-led, outcome-focused and time-scaled, with provision reducing as individuals become more independent and able to live as responsible members of their communities. The provider will monitor all aspects of delivery. This is a health and social work service, delivered in the Vale of Glamorgan, Wales, for the Council.

The process has reached tender: the Council invited offers through an open procedure. Enquiries must be submitted by 18 September 2026 at 12:00. Tenders must be submitted through the Proactis e-tendering tool by 9 October 2026 at 12:00, in English or Welsh. The estimated contract value is £1,015,000. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 March 2027 to 28 February 2030, with two 12-month extensions available until 28 February 2032. The award decision is due by 8 December 2026. There is one lot. Tenders will be evaluated on quality at 60%, price at 30% and community well-being benefits at 10%. The opportunity is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

This opportunity suits organisations experienced in floating housing-related support for people facing substance misuse, criminal justice issues or homelessness risk. Strong providers will need to assess varying and changing needs, create and deliver tailored support plans, address practical and emotional issues, and help service users build or maintain the capacity to live independently. The requirement favours teams able to provide flexible support that can reduce in intensity as outcomes improve, while maintaining continuity and safeguarding independence. Providers must be able to work in an outcome-focused and time-scaled way, monitor service delivery across the 22-unit provision, and demonstrate how their approach delivers community well-being benefits. The Council has identified the contract as suitable for both SMEs and VCSE organisations.

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.
