Summary of the contracting process

Cardiff Council is commissioning a targeted, evidence-based Youth Healthy Relationships Service as part of its Families First programme. The service will support young people aged 11 to 18 in Cardiff, or up to 25 where they are vulnerable, together with parents, carers and young people whose needs fall below the threshold for specialist health or statutory care services. The work covers healthy relationships, sexual health, consent, online safety, gender identity, body image, misogyny, violence against women, domestic abuse and sexual violence. Delivery includes one-to-one and group support, parent and carer advice, drop-ins and group sessions, professional training and advice in schools and community settings, and coordination with partner services. This is a health and social work service delivered in Cardiff.

The process has reached tender: Cardiff Council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. The procurement comprises one lot for the complete service. Bids were to be submitted electronically by 2 October 2026 at 12:00. The contract period is 1 February 2027 to 31 January 2028, with an option to extend for a further two 12-month periods, giving a maximum end date of 1 February 2029. The estimated contract value is £330,000 gross. Evaluation is based on quality at 60%, price at 30% and Community Wellbeing Benefits at 10%. The opportunity is under the light-touch regime and is identified as health and social work services.

This opportunity suits providers experienced in delivering relationship, sexual health, youth support or wider family services for children, young people and parents. Strong candidates will be able to provide evidence-based one-to-one and group interventions, advice and drop-in support, and address sensitive issues including consent, online safety, gender identity, misogyny, domestic abuse and sexual violence. The service requires a whole-family approach, with the ability to engage parents and carers while tailoring support for young people aged 11 to 18 and vulnerable people up to 25. Providers should also be able to train and advise professionals in schools and community settings, work effectively with partner organisations, and help people reach services suited to their needs. The procurement is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises.
