## Summary

Cardiff Council is in the planning stage of a procurement process aiming to contract Specialist Day Centre Services for Adults with Learning Disabilities, including Autism Spectrum Condition and other neurodivergent conditions. This initiative, classified under social work and related services, is situated in the UKL2 region of the United Kingdom. The council is seeking market engagement to gauge interest and capabilities of potential providers, encouraging expressions of interest by noon on a specified Monday in July, with such preliminary engagement ending on 28th July 2025. The procurement is primarily service-oriented and involves a significant gross value of GBP 1.8 million, scheduled to commence on 31st January 2026 and conclude on 1st February 2033.

This tender represents a notable opportunity for businesses that specialise in health and social work services, especially those focusing on neurodivergent populations and complex care needs. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly suited to respond, given the procurement's suitability criteria, and can position themselves as key service providers in the evolving landscape of specialised care services. The initiative not only promises robust market growth for entities committed to enhancing service provision for diverse needs but also supports long-term engagement with a public authority, fostering potential business stability and development.
