## Summary

Neath Port Talbot County Borough Council is in the planning stage of a procurement process for the Children and Young People’s Care and Support Services Framework. This initiative, governed by Welsh devolved regulations, aims to establish a flexible framework for commissioning services such as early help, family support, community-based provision, and specialist interventions. Businesses interested in participating can attend virtual market engagement sessions scheduled from 21 July to 29 July 2026 via Microsoft Teams. The location under consideration is in the UK region, and the procurement method involves a framework agreement with a total contract value estimated at £3.6 million gross. This opportunity is catered towards the services industry, specifically within the social work and related services category.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that specialise in social support services. With the contract covering a period from April 2027 to March 2030 and potential extensions to 2031, businesses can secure a stable, long-term engagement. The framework’s flexible structure allows for diverse service provision, making it ideal for organisations with expertise in delivering comprehensive support to children and young people, including those transitioning into adulthood. Engaging in the planned market sessions will enable businesses to provide valuable feedback to influence the development of the tender, offering a chance to shape and align services with council priorities and community needs.
