## Summary

The Vale of Glamorgan Council, located at the Civic Offices in Barry, United Kingdom, has concluded the procurement process for the "Western Vale Community Day Service." This initiative aims to offer flexible, person-centred daytime activities for up to 50 individuals, including those living with dementia, in the Western Vale area, specifically targeting those aged 65 and over identified through a Social Services and Wellbeing (Wales) Act 2014 assessment. With a procurement value of £939,700, the contract was awarded on 16th December 2025 to Cartrefi Cymru Co-operative Limited and will commence on 2nd February 2026, running until 1st February 2030. The open procedure for procurement under the light-touch regime has been completed, reflecting a comprehensive process that adhered to Welsh devolved regulations.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses specialising in health and social work services, particularly those focused on aged care and dementia support, to expand their reach within the community services sector. The awarded supplier, Cartrefi Cymru Co-operative Limited, demonstrates the capability and scale of large organisations to meet these service requirements, with the selection criteria favouring community wellbeing and quality over cost considerations. The procurement process indicates favourable opportunities for SMEs and VCSEs, particularly those aligned with social value and decarbonisation, as emphasised in the Council's planning phase discussions. Businesses capable of offering innovative, high-quality services within these frameworks may find significant growth potential through similar procurement opportunities.
