## Summary

The Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council (RCTCBC) has successfully concluded the procurement process for its "Offender Support Service Project," which sought to provide comprehensive support for homeless offenders upon their release. The process, conducted through an open procedure under Welsh devolved regulations, has now reached the award stage with the contract being signed on July 6, 2026. This service falls under the category of "community, social and personal services" and will be delivered in the UK region of Wales (UKL15) over a three-year period starting from July 19, 2026, with potential renewals extending up to 2033. The project's primary aim is to assist offenders in reintegrating into the community through tailored interventions and partnerships with homelessness and probation teams. The total contract value is £1,293,089, with a net amount of £1,077,574.17.

This contract presents a promising opportunity for businesses specializing in social support services, particularly those equipped to tackle homelessness and support community reintegration. Given that the successful supplier, Kaleidoscope, is noted as an SME, other small and medium-sized enterprises with expertise in counselling, rehabilitative, or community support services could find similar opportunities in such open procurement procedures. The open and transparent nature of the procurement method encourages participation from various businesses, particularly those interested in working within the Welsh region while making a significant impact on social welfare and community support services.

## Notice
