UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Vale of Glamorgan Council is procuring the Teulu Project Floating Support Service, a housing-related support service for vulnerable families with support needs. The service will support up to 40 units, including five units reserved for people living in five designated properties managed by a registered social landlord in Barry and Penarth. The remaining support can be delivered to people living in accommodation of any tenure. The provider will offer flexible, individualised support covering information, advice, practical and emotional issues, and access to resources. Support plans should help people live independently, sustain their accommodation and make informed choices, with provision reducing as independence improves. The provider must monitor delivery and enter into a management agreement with Newydd Housing Association for the five designated properties.

The procurement has reached tender: the council invited offers through an open procedure. It is a single-lot services contract under the light-touch regime. Enquiries had to be submitted by 18 September 2026 at 12:00 noon, and tenders by 9 October 2026 at 12:00 noon through the Proactis supplier portal. Tenders may be submitted electronically in English or Welsh. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 March 2027 to 28 February 2030, with two possible 12-month extensions, allowing a maximum end date of 28 February 2032. Its estimated value is £1,125,000 including taxes. The award decision was due by 8 December 2026. Evaluation is based on quality at 60%, price at 30% and community well-being benefits at 10%.

This opportunity suits small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises that deliver housing-related floating support to families. Suitable providers will need to assess varied and changing support needs, create and review tailored plans, and combine practical and emotional assistance with advice, information and access to resources. They must work towards measurable independence outcomes, provide support flexibly and reduce the intensity of provision as service users become more independent. The provider will be responsible for monitoring all aspects of delivery and for coordinating with Newydd Housing Association through a management agreement covering five designated properties. Organisations with operational capacity for up to 40 supported units, experience of accommodation sustainment and independent-living support, and the ability to deliver community well-being benefits are well placed to compete.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Teulu Project Floating Support Service

Notice Description

This service applies to a 40-unit floating support service to be delivered for families with support needs clients. 5 units are dedicated to service users living in 5 designated RSL properties in Barry and Penarth. The remaining units are to be delivered to service users living in any tenure. The aim of this project is to provide housing related floating support to improve outcomes for vulnerable families to access information, advice, support and resources to enable them to make informed choices. The service will provide flexible housing related support to a maximum of 40 units. 5 units are dedicated to service users living in 5 designated RSL properties. The provider will be expected to provide a flexible model of support which is tailored to meet individual needs. 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. The support provider must enter into a management agreement with Newydd Housing Association covering the 5 designated properties.
