The procurement lies in the services category, with a focus on social work and related activities. These services aim to provide housing support, financial management assistance, and tenancy guidance, amongst other things. The contracting authority, Cardiff Council, is operating under the Welsh devolved regulations. Key milestones include returning responses to preliminary market engagement questions by 17th July 2025. The proposed contracts will have a total approximate value of over £4 million, with services expected to commence on 1st April 2026 and potentially run until March 2033. This tender represents a considerable opportunity for businesses involved in social care and housing management, especially those experienced in providing 24/7 support in large-scale accommodation settings. It presents an attractive prospect for companies that can develop innovative solutions tailored to complex social service needs while ensuring compliance with the Renting Homes (Wales) Act. Organisations that have the capability to deliver medium to high-level support, engage in effective property management, and facilitate the transition to permanent housing will find this tender particularly suited to expand their business in a growing social service sector in the United Kingdom. ## Notice Cardiff Council is seeking to tender for five Supported Accommodation Services aimed at single individuals with varying support needs. The tenders will award the support aspect of service delivery only. Clients may face challenges requiring assistance in managing finances, understanding tenancy requirements and accessing specialised services. Each client will have a personalised housing support plan, reviewed every 12 weeks, agreed with support staff. The plan would look to map the journey and secure move-on to permanent accommodation via the private rented sector or social housing. The contractor will handle housing management agreements, set rents, and address anti-social behaviour, while all client allocations will be managed by the Council's Single Persons Gateway. Compliance with the Renting Homes (Wales) Act is mandatory. The property must provide self-contained units where possible and include communal spaces for sessional work. It should be mixed-gender with provisions for disability access and pet-friendly policies. The sites must be ready and available for immediate use at the point of awarding contract. While the Council has access to a site, there is no guarantee that like for like buildings will be available for use. ### Planning Information If you are interested in one or more of these opportunities, please return your responses to below questions to socialcare.procurement@cardiff.gov.uk by 23.59 on Thursday, 17th July 2025.
