This project falls under the Health and Social Work services category and is designed to provide domiciliary care and support within several schemes, namely Llys Enfys, Plas Bryn, Dol-Yr-Hafren, and Cwrt Hir in Cardiff, UKL22. The procurement is set to begin on 1st April 2027 and conclude on 31st March 2031. The process follows an open procedure, and Cardiff Council has published a Pipeline notice on 28th May 2026 with a future notice date of 12th October 2026. The total contract value is estimated at £7,125,580.80, with Cardiff Council acting as the buyer on this tender. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in health and social work services, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) given its suitability criteria. Companies or organisations with experience in providing high-quality, personalised, and outcome-focused domiciliary care and support services, especially those with the capabilities to handle specialised needs such as dementia or cognitive impairments, will find this an excellent chance to enhance their service portfolio and expand into the Cardiff region. The contract's extended duration offers a stable and predictable business opportunity for the duration of the agreement. ## Notice The term 'Extracare and Supported Living' describes a broad range of housing and support options and can be defined as: When an older person or vulnerable adult with care and support needs rents somewhere to live and receives personal domiciliary care and support from a domiciliary support provider that is not the owner/landlord of the accommodation. The fundamental principle is that people live in their own home, shared or on their own and receive the care and/or support that works for them. Social Services statutory obligation is to meet eligible assessed need; how that need is met will be through a variety of means, to be determined by the individual, their family members and with the social worker. The aim is to enable people to remain as independent as possible, utilising a mix of dedicated care and support packages and support from universal services in their community. The service will enable and assist individuals to live in their own accommodation within the schemes, and to maintain and promote their independence in order to achieve a good quality of life. The intention is to provide effective support in order to prevent unnecessary hospital admissions and to prevent or delay care home placements. The service will enable individuals to live as independently as possible. All support delivered is required to be high quality and delivered by suitably trained and qualified staff. Support will be personalised and outcome focused and importantly co-produced with the Individual in receipt of care and support, family, carers and other stakeholders. The service will take into consideration specialist requirements for people who may be presenting with other care and support needs such as dementia, other forms of cognitive impairment and physical/sensory impairment. For this tender the extra-care and supported living schemes where the domiciliary care and support services will be based and delivered are Llys Enfys, Plas Bryn, Dol-Yr-Hafren and Cwrt Hir. Currently circa 1600 hours, including wake-in provision, of domiciliary care and support is being delivered each week and we expect similar provision to be delivered within the new contracts. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/050258-2026 | | Notice type | UK1 - Pipeline Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 28 May 2026 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 12 Oct 2026 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Mar 2027 - 31 Mar 2031 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £5,937,984 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planned | | Lots status | Planned | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | CARDIFF COUNCIL | | Locality | CARDIFF | | Post town | Cardiff | | Postcode | CF10 4UW | | Country | Wales | | ITL 1 | TLL Wales | | ITL 2 | TLL5 South East Wales | | ITL 3 | TLL52 Cardiff and Vale of Glamorgan | | Local authority | Cardiff | | Electoral ward | Butetown | | Westminster constituency | Cardiff South and Penarth | | Delivery location | TLL22 Cardiff and Vale of Glamorgan | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85000000 - Health and social work services ## Release History - 28 May 2026 at 11:32 - Planning - UK1 - Pipeline Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/050258-2026 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/050258-2026 28th May 2026 - Pipeline notice on Find a Tender ## Notice URLs - http://www.cardiff.gov.uk - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
