## Summary

The City & County of Swansea is facilitating a tender process focused on establishing a framework agreement to provide specialist domestic abuse housing-related support services. This procurement falls under the category of health and social work services, aiming to deliver both community-based and accommodation-based support. The procurement is currently in the planning stage, with a virtual market engagement event scheduled for 11th March 2026 from 2:00 pm to 3:30 pm. Businesses interested in participating are encouraged to register by 6th March 2026 via email. The procurement process seeks to engage existing and potential providers under Welsh devolved regulations, offering a robust opportunity to shape effective support services for individuals in need within Swansea, UK.

This procurement initiative provides a substantial opportunity for businesses that specialise in domestic abuse support services to expand their operations and secure stable contracts. The framework includes separate lots, such as refuge provision and community support services, which allow flexibility and responsiveness to diverse client needs. Companies classified as SMEs or VCSEs are particularly well-suited to compete, given the framework's inclusivity and provision for lighter regulations. Engagement in this tender could result in significant business growth, leveraging a framework agreement valued at £11 million gross and spanning five years, with potential renewal options extending up to a decade.
