Summary of the contracting process

Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council commissioned supported accommodation at the Hughes Street scheme in Rhondda Cynon Taf, Wales. The service is for young people aged 16 to 24 who have complex needs, including mental health issues, alcohol or substance misuse issues, or offending behaviour. Residents are assessed as having high needs through the council’s supported accommodation eligibility process. This is a specialist community and social service, covering the provision and operation of accommodation with appropriate support for the people identified. The buyer is Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council, based in Pontypridd. The requirement was treated as a light-touch service under Welsh devolved public procurement arrangements.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a below-threshold direct award without competition. There was one completed lot. Stori was selected as the supplier, and the contract is active. The contract was signed on 30 March 2026 and runs from 1 April 2026 to 1 March 2029. Its value is £538,848.06 excluding VAT, or £646,617.70 including VAT. The arrangement is for supported accommodation services at Hughes Street and was not above the relevant threshold. The available procurement information records a direct award route rather than a competitive evaluation, so the outcome reflects the council’s use of that below-threshold procedure.

This procurement indicates demand for specialist supported accommodation for young people aged 16 to 24 with high and complex needs. A credible future competitor would need to provide accommodation-based support for residents affected by mental health issues, alcohol or substance misuse, and offending behaviour, while working within the buyer’s supported accommodation eligibility process. Relevant capability is therefore likely to include safe accommodation provision, high-needs assessment and support, and the ability to work with multiple, potentially overlapping vulnerabilities. The selected supplier, Stori, is recorded as a small or medium-sized voluntary, community or social enterprise, showing that this requirement can be delivered by a mission-led SME with focused specialist provision rather than only by a large commercial housing or care operator.
