## Summary

The Vale of Glamorgan Council is in the planning stage of a procurement process for the provision of a Supported Day Care Service in the Western Vale area. This service targets older people and individuals living with dementia. The procurement is classified under the "services" category, specifically "Social work services without accommodation". An online market engagement event is scheduled for 29th July 2025 to provide insights into the council's requirements, TUPE implications, and governmental priorities such as social value and decarbonisation. Interested parties should contact the council via email to express interest in attending. The procurement is guided by Welsh devolved regulations and aims to contract the service starting from January 2026. A future notice for further developments in this tender is anticipated on 29th August 2025.

This procurement process, led by a public authority under sub-central government, opens significant opportunities for SMEs and VCSEs specialising in social services. Businesses experienced in offering care services to the elderly and dementia patients are well-suited to compete. The light touch regime of this procurement contract suggests flexibility, conducive to innovative service proposals, and allows potential providers to demonstrate their capacity to meet governmental objectives. The contract value is estimated at approximately £1,020,152 GBP, indicating substantial commercial interest and scope for business growth. The ongoing planning stage offers potential bidders an early engagement opportunity to tailor their proposals effectively.
