Summary of the contracting process

Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council commissioned supported accommodation at Rhos Dyfed. The service is for people aged 18 and over with complex needs, including mental health issues, alcohol or substance misuse and offending behaviour. Residents are assessed through the supported accommodation eligibility process as either high need or medium need. The scheme covers seven high-needs units and two medium-needs units, providing accommodation and support tailored to these groups. This is a social and community service, classified under CPV 98000000. The contracting authority is Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council, based in Pontypridd. The requirement is therefore relevant to organisations delivering supported housing, accommodation-based support and related services for adults with complex needs.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Platfform. It was a below-threshold direct award without competition under the light-touch regime. The contract was signed on 30 March 2026 and runs from 1 April 2026 to 1 April 2029. Its value is £464,622.50 excluding VAT, or £557,547 including VAT. The award covers one completed lot and one active contract for the Rhos Dyfed supported accommodation service. The contracting route indicates that the council selected a provider without inviting competing tenders. Platfform is the named supplier and the award remains active. The published outcome establishes the council’s chosen delivery model, the contract’s three-year operating period and the scale of its financial commitment to this supported accommodation requirement.

This procurement demonstrates demand from Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council for accommodation-based support for adults whose needs may combine mental health issues, alcohol or substance misuse, offending behaviour and high or medium support requirements. A credible future competitor would need to provide suitable supported accommodation, manage a nine-unit scheme across different levels of need and operate an eligibility and assessment process. Relevant strengths include experience supporting adults with complex needs, safe housing management, risk assessment, safeguarding, tenancy or occupancy support and coordinated work with health, social care and other services. The incumbent, Platfform, is recorded as an SME, showing that delivery is within the reach of a focused specialist provider rather than only a large national contractor.
