## Summary

Cardiff Council has embarked on a procurement process for "Floating Support Services" under the open procedure, aiming to enhance housing stability and independence for individuals in Cardiff. The process is governed by Welsh devolved regulations, and the procurement falls under the categories of health and social work services. With Cardiff Council as the contracting authority, the procurement is in the award stage, following the completion of the tender phase. The project was tendered on 19th December 2025, with key deadlines having been set, such as the end of the tender period on 26th January 2026, and the subsequent contract commencement planned for 1st June 2026. The process has successfully advanced to the award stage, with contracts already awarded to The Salvation Army Trustee Company and Codi Care and Support as providers.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses, particularly those capable of delivering social work and housing-related services. Organisations with expertise in health and social work are well-suited to address the requirements specified by Cardiff Council. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community and social enterprises (VCSEs) that can articulate quality, cost efficiency, and community wellbeing stand a strong chance of success. The contracts involve a substantial financial commitment, with a value of £6,338,801 for each awarded contract, and offer a potential extension period of 24 months after the initial five-year contract term. This makes it a lucrative prospect for service providers focused on building capacity to improve housing independence and prevent homelessness.

## Notice

The Contracting Authority wishes to award two contracts to Ranked 1 and Ranked 2 providers to deliver the Housing Related Floating Support Contracts across Cardiff.
