Summary of the contracting process

Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council commissioned supported accommodation services for young men and young women in shared houses. The service is for people aged 16 to 24 with complex needs, including mental health issues, alcohol or substance misuse, offending behaviour and other support requirements. Residents must have been assessed as having high needs through the council’s supported accommodation eligibility process. This is a social and community support service, classified under CPV 98000000, covering delivery in Rhondda Cynon Taf. The requirement combines accommodation with support for young people whose needs make ordinary housing unsuitable. It is a single service covering both the young men’s shared house and the young women’s shared house.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Stori. It used a direct below-threshold procedure without competition under the light-touch regime. One lot was completed. The contract was signed on 30 March 2026 and runs from 1 April 2026 to 1 May 2028. Its value is £550,835.06 excluding VAT, or £661,002.08 including VAT. The published information records an active contract and an active award. The arrangement is therefore an established procurement outcome rather than a current competition. Evaluation was not conducted through a competitive tender: the council used a direct award route for this below-threshold supported accommodation requirement.

This outcome shows that Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council buys substantial, multi-year supported accommodation capacity for young people with high and complex needs. A future provider would need to operate shared accommodation for young men and young women and provide support suited to residents affected by mental health issues, alcohol or substance misuse, offending behaviour and related risks. Credibility would depend on safeguarding, supported housing management, skilled staff and the ability to assess and support people aged 16 to 24 with high needs. Providers should also be able to run more than one shared-house setting as a coherent service and demonstrate experience of delivering reliable accommodation-based support for vulnerable young people.
