## Summary

The Rhondda Cynon Taf CBC has completed the procurement process for the "Youth and Play Services Approved List" under the "services" category. The process is in the award stage as of May 30, 2023. The tender is split into two lots: Play Provision and Youth Provision, with key aims to deliver play and youth opportunities. The approved list will remain open for two years initially, with options to extend. The Council will quality assure providers through a questionnaire process.

This procurement presents business growth opportunities for play and youth service providers capable of delivering open access opportunities for children and young people aged 5 to 25 in Rhondda Cynon Taf. Businesses specialising in social services, child daycare services, and youth education services would find this tender suitable for their expertise. The open procedure allows all qualified providers who pass the questionnaire to obtain a place on the approved list, enhancing their chances for successful business collaborations with the Rhondda Cynon Taf CBC.

## Notice

The procurement process is structured to contain 2 lots. Lot 1 is for Play provision and seeks to appoint play providers capable of delivering play opportunities for CYP aged 5 to 14 years across the county borough. Lot 2 is for Youth provision and seeks to appoint youth providers capable of delivering youth opportunities for CYP aged 11 to 25 years across the county borough . Both opportunities will require providers to deliver freely chosen open access opportunities from various sites across RCT. The services to be procured under this ITT are applicable to regulations 74-77 under chapter 3 for Social and other specific services known as "Light Touch Regime". Therefore, the Council is not obliged to comply with the full extent of the Regulations, only those parts which apply to the Light Touch Regime. This process will operate as an 'Approved List' that will quality assure providers. In order to obtain a position on the 'Approved List' providers will need to pass a questionnaire. The approved list is in its 2nd Stage, meaning the approved list will remain open and available for the approved list duration (2 year initial period, and options to extend on an annual basis subject to reviews and funding), allowing new providers to express their interest and apply to join one or both Lots at any time. Unsuccessful Providers will also be given the opportunity to reapply until successful.
