## Summary

The Bridgend County Borough Council is currently in the planning stage for procuring housing-related services specifically tailored for young people in the UK, under two separate contracts or Lots. This procurement process falls under the services category with the CPV classification of "Social work and related services" and is above threshold, adhering to Welsh devolved regulations. Provider engagement events are scheduled for 15th and 20th April 2026, designed to assess market interest and gather useful information for the tendering process. Formal invitations to tender will be released at the end of June 2026, while the contract is set to commence on 1st December 2026 for a three-year term with an option to extend for up to 24 months. The estimated value for Lot 1 is £430,000 per annum, and for Lot 2 is £580,000 per annum, though these figures may be adjusted following market feedback.

This tender represents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) within the social services industry. Providers can bid for both Lots, although only one will be awarded per provider, encouraging diverse participation. The contract could be ideal for organisations already involved in social work, housing support, or youth services. Companies within the UK region, particularly those familiar with delivering services in line with the Housing (Wales) Act 2014, Social Services and Wellbeing (Wales) Act 2014, and the Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015, might find their expertise aligns well with the Council's vision for supporting young people threatened by homelessness. The upcoming provider events provide not only clarity on requirements but also networking opportunities with Bridgend Council officers.

### Planning Information

We will be holding Provider Events on 15th and 20th April (timeslots to be confirmed with interested providers). The purpose of holding a Provider Event is to establish the level of market interest and to gather information that will be beneficial in the tendering process. It will also be an opportunity for the providers to ask any questions about the contract. The event format will be 1-1 bookable timeslots with the provider and Bridgend Council officers present. It will take place online via Microsoft Teams. 
This contract is split into Lots as above. Providers are welcome to discuss just one, or both Lots during their time slot. 
All providers are welcome to attend and enquire. However, we always encourage local small and medium-sized enterprises to participate.
These events are not a formal call for competition, and non-participating providers will still be eligible to bid for the contract. 
The formal Invitation to Tender will be published at the end of June 2026.
