UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council commissioned a supported temporary accommodation and support service for vulnerable single women aged 18 and over who are homeless and assessed as having high needs. The service is designed for women with co-occurring needs, which may include mental health issues, alcohol or substance misuse, offending and behavioural issues. It provides 24/7 accommodation with flexible and varied support. The delivery model is person-centred, flexible and outcomes-driven, building on the support provider’s existing strengths, networks and relationships. This is a social and community service, classified under CPV 98000000. The buying organisation is Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council, a Welsh public authority, and the awarded provider is Stori, an SME based in Carmarthen.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a direct, below-threshold procedure without competition, under the light-touch regime. One lot was completed and awarded to Stori. The contract was signed on 30 March 2026 and runs from 1 April 2026 to 1 September 2027. Its value is £534,942.79 excluding VAT, or £641,931.35 including VAT. The contract is active. The published information identifies the service requirements and delivery model as the basis for the procurement, but does not set out a scored evaluation breakdown. This outcome shows that Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council selected an established support provider for a high-needs accommodation service rather than running an open competition.

This procurement is relevant to providers of supported accommodation, homelessness services and specialist social care for adults with complex or co-occurring needs. A credible future supplier would need to provide safe temporary accommodation continuously, with staffing and operational capacity for 24/7 support to vulnerable single women aged 18 and over. The requirement also points to experience supporting people affected by mental health issues, alcohol or substance misuse, offending and behavioural issues, particularly where needs are assessed as high. Strong local networks, established relationships and the ability to deliver person-centred, flexible support would be important. Providers should also be able to define and evidence outcomes, adapt support to changing individual needs and work constructively with the council and wider support networks.
