## Summary

Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council (CBC) has successfully completed its procurement process titled "Better Futures," which focused on the services industry category, specifically within social work and related services. The procurement process was in the Award stage as of 18th June 2025, with the contract being signed and active from 1st April 2025, and running until 31st March 2026. The procurement method utilised was direct, falling below the set threshold and executed without competition. This tender was awarded to Barnardos Services Ltd, located in Essex, UK, with services to be rendered across the UK region identified as UKL. The procurement aligns with Welsh devolved regulations and is governed by the legal framework of the UK Parliament's 2023/54 legislation.

The "Better Futures" tender presents significant opportunities for business growth, particularly for those specialised in delivering social work services. Although this particular procurement was completed via direct award to Barnardos Services Ltd, businesses looking to expand their footprint in the public sector services market might consider positioning themselves for similar future opportunities with local councils or government bodies. Firms with expertise in social services, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), would be well-suited for competing in such tenders, given the sector's alignment with public authority objectives and related regulatory requirements. The engagement of a renowned supplier such as Barnardos underscores the council's commitment to partnering with capable service providers for impactful community projects.
