Summary of the contracting process

Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council commissioned dispersed supported accommodation across Rhydyfelin and Taff Ely. The service covers nine accommodation units for adults aged 18 and over who have mental health needs, complex needs or co-occurring needs. This is a community, social and personal support service, with accommodation delivered across the specified local area. The requirement is relevant to organisations providing supported housing and associated care or support for adults with significant or overlapping needs. The council is the public-sector buyer for the service, which is focused on accommodation arranged across multiple locations rather than a single site.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded directly to Platfform for Change without competition, using a below-threshold route under the light-touch regime. The contract was signed on 31 March 2026 and runs from 1 April 2026 to 1 April 2029. Its value is £164,217.50 excluding VAT, or £197,061 including VAT. One lot covered the full requirement. The contract is active and the selected supplier is Platfform for Change, an SME based in Taffs Well. The award covers the supported accommodation service for the nine dispersed units in Rhydyfelin and Taff Ely.

For organisations considering similar work, this award demonstrates demand from Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council for dispersed supported accommodation for adults with mental health, complex and co-occurring needs. A credible provider would need to operate or secure multiple suitable accommodation units, coordinate delivery across Rhydyfelin and Taff Ely, and provide support appropriate to adults aged 18 and over with overlapping or substantial needs. The successful supplier is an SME, indicating that delivery is not limited to large national organisations. Relevant preparation would include evidence of safe, reliable supported-housing operations, experience working with people with mental health and complex needs, and the capacity to manage a nine-unit local service.
